Can be set to 'yes' or 'no', and determines if helicopter-like aircraft will move in-between shots at a target. If set to 'no', the aircraft will hover over their target until they have used all of their ammo, or kill it*. Named after American comedian Jerome 'Curly' Howard (with a typo, of course), one of the Three Stooges.

Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

* In Tiberian Sun, if disabled, all armed aircraft with a ROT>1 projectile (i.e. those that don't perform a 'sweep' over their target, like the Orca Bomber, but instead hover over or near it) will not expend their ammo unless they change their position. The aircraft will continue to fire at the target endlessly until it is destroyed, or the aircraft switches its position.

-Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and determines if Helicopters should do the 'suicide shuffle' between shots as in Tiberium Dawn. If set to 'no', helicopters simply hover near their target and continually attack until they run out of ammo or destroy it. See the Weapon Statistics section for what differentiates Helicopters from other aircraft.
