We study inherently chiral self-propelled particles in two dimensions that are subjected to nematic alignment interactions and rotational noise. By means of both, homogeneous and spatially resolved mean field theory we identify various different flocking states. We confirm the presence of the predicted phases using agent-based simulations. We emphasize that special care has to be taken within the simulations in order to avoid artifacts. We present a non-standard simulation technique in order to avoid those artifacts.
