Cinematic Vs Rules/Realism in Space Combat

It is in the lore, however. Every single time you see a Klingon Bird of Prey in the shows or movies, they are always facing their targets. They don’t have the ability to fire behind them. It is a basic thing. Cannons are directional with a possible 45-90 degree firing arc, banks and arrays can be omni-directional with 180-360 degrees.

Except for one aft torpedo fired at the Defiant when they were attempting to rescue the Detapa Council in 2372.
