IMHO, the small arc of the KV is only feasable because of the advanced 
drives (in vector, at lest), as otherwise, tactics would be limited to
those 
which leave the enemy in the front arc, which would mean that most
movement 
would have to be foreward/backwards.  The extra arcs of the humans mean
that 
they don't have to always face directly towards the enemy, and also
gives 
them a significantly better chance of being able to hit an enemy who is 
maneuverable (advanced drives or 6+ thrust) at close range.  The human 
player who takes purely front arc weapons could be in for a _nasty_
surprise 
when the KV close in.

Thats what i think, anyway
