Battlefleet Gothic: Imperial Navy - Cobra-class Destroyer

Right, so this is officially my 4th and hopefully final time I do this build. This one is much smaller than the last ones, mostly because I wanted to make sure that the new multithreading changes made putting a bunch of these ships together in the same world playable without immense sim speed drops like last time. This should also make building the bigger ships much easier. Also, note that some of the weapons seen in the screenshots/video may have changed due to some balance testing that I've done. I figured that I didn't want to make this thing overly OP given that it's literally one of the smallest ships in the Imperial Navy.

This Build is built for Creative Mode only, will not work in Survival

Battlefleet Gothic

Name: Cobra-Class Destroyer

Ship Type: Escort, Destroyer, Torpedo Boat

Faction: Imperium of Man, Imperial Navy, Pirates

Size Designation: Small (Escort Vessel)

Wiki Description:

In the competition for most numerous warship in the Imperium, the Cobra is a serious contender, roving swarms of the destroyers being found in service with every fleet in the Imperium and with pirates. The cobra class is armed three, forward mounted, sub-macro cannon turrets (for self defence against enemy escorts) and a set of four prow-mounted torpedoes launchers: which make a squadron of these dangerous warships a lethal threat to even the largest capital ships. The warship is also very poorly armoured (like all escorts), and the fastest warship in Imperial Navy service (fast even among other escorts), making the warship incredibly hard to hit with anything other than a lance as they make their torpedo runs and a nightmare to try and catch as they run for the cover of their home fleet/base. A single Cobra Class being the only ship able to escape the Yuctan incident in M40 (The Imperial navy's first encounter with a Necron fleet).

It is fast and maneuverable enough to get into a position from where its torpedoes will do most damage. However, due to its small size, large engine signature, and relatively poor armour, it does not stand up well to enemy fire. This shouldn't be a problem however, due to the long range of a torpedo. Cobras act in squadrons of between two and six ships, making a torpedo volley from a squadron enough to cripple a large capital ship. It is the smallest independent Imperial warship, the smaller ones being carried aboard larger cruisers.
