When this game was released in 1999, flamers and some AA units could not
fire on the move.
This behaviour changed from 2008 onward, but only for multiplayer games.
Campaign games have been unaffected.
First the Flamer turret was allowed to fire on the move, then, in
addition, Inferno and Plasmite Flamer:

The Cyclone AA Turret was replaced with the AA Flak Cannon in multiplayer:

Rebalance 0.8.1:
- Removed Cyclone turret
- Added: AA Flak Cannon (and Emplacement and Hardpoint)
- Flak Cannon is a medium-reload splash weapon
- Prerequisites: HPV
- Added: Sunburst AA Rocket Array (and Site)
- Sunburst is a slow-reload salvo weapon
- Prerequisites: Lancer
- Lancer damage toned down a bit
- Heavy Laser damage increased a bit

Finally, in multiplayer all AA units were allowed to fire on the move, in
a commit which, oddly, exists twice:

Rebalance 0.5.0:
* Heavy VTOL bombs made lighter, light VTOL bombs made heavier.
* VTOL bomb accuracy upgrades changed to damage upgrades.
* Angel Missile stronger, Archangel Missile weaker, both fewer
prereqs.
* Damage upgrades now also upgrade splash and burn damage.
* Needle Gun slightly stronger. Still not actually better than HPV.
* Rails now penetrating weapons. In practice, this shouldn't make much
difference.
* Factory, Cyborg factory, and VTOL factory upgrades combined; now
only 4 upgrades instead of 6-9 each.
* Repair facility upgrades condensed, now only 3 upgrades instead of
6.
* Artillery weapons do less damage to tanks, but more to walls.
* MG damage back down to original levels. The extra APDSB MG Bullets
in the early game does plenty to compensate.
* VTOL HP actually makes sense now.
* Cannon HP increased a bit more.
* Stormy nerfed.
* All AA weapons have full fire-on-move.
For exact numbers, refer to http://guide.wz2100.net/new/ or wait for
the detailed changelog after all rebalancing is done.

Eugen, now mentioned as campaign tester in the file './AUTHORS', suggested
that flamers should be allowed to fire on the move in campaign games (read
[http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12714&p=142828#p142828 this
forum post]).
This will surely spare players some frustration when their units get
clogged up or begin to dance due to the horrible pathfinding.
The attached patch allows flamers and all AA units to fire on the move in
the campaign.
This affects the following turrets:
* Flamer
* Inferno
* Cyclone Flak Turret (exists only in the campaign)
* Vindicator SAM
Note that the scavengers' flamer used by their Firebus must still stop to
fire, just like in multiplayer.
