KV have an easy time keeping putting targets in their F arc,
but they have a hard time staying out of opponents' F arc.
I'd say that KV (and otehr high-maneuverability designs) are
less powerful in vector than they are in cinematic.

To fix that, it has been proposed for FT3 that a maneuver
point in vector will only let you turn you 60 degrees
instead of unlimited amounts--so if your target is behind
you, you'd have to use 3 points to turn to face instead of
the 1pt you'd use with the current system. If you try that,
please give us an After Action Report.
