Auto Credit Based on pavthepilot's Improved

A huge "battleplane" used by the Allies at the end of WWII. All credit goes to @pavthepilot, he designed most of it.
Use VTOL to angle turrets, and use AG 8 to deactivate the turret guns.

Backstory:
The USS Everglades (no relation to the destroyer of the same name) is a gigantic" battleplane" used by the Allied Forced at the tail end of WWII. Named after the dense swamp, the Florida Everglades proved to be an exellent testing location for the U.S's newest flying boat. Since it saw relatively little combat, it is now on display in a war museum. It would later go on to be the design inspiration for the Grand Airship.

    They had a knack for aerodynamics, but not naming. @Carsong1017

    @Awsomur I'm not trying to be a h8er, but technically this is a seaplane. A flying boat has a hull, while this has a pontoon below the fuselage.

    I made that floater longer than the fuselage to make the plane easy to land on water
