Yes, definitely. On a large table, if I split up and you form your
non-KV 
force into one big fist the only way for you to stop me parking at least

half of my fleet in your (A) arc is to bring your entire fleet to a full

stop to spin in place... which either gives me a very good hit prob for
any 
missiles (or, god forbid, waveguns/nova cannon) I have, or results in a 
Mexican stand-off where you lose if you attempt to move.

KV can turn around fast enough to keep their (A) arcs clear, though :-)
