As with all destroyers the '''Talwar''' offers great firepower while sacrificing its own odds for survival. ~~It's~~ very high speed makes it harder for enemies to hit the Destroyer ~~while~~ it allows the ship to get into range quicker ~~as well~~. Due to this, the ship should always kept in motion with the MicroWarp Drive being enabled. While the increased Signature Radius might increase the damage it receives a bit, the far bigger velocity increment will offset this by far. As such it is especially susceptible to bigger ships with webifiers that will simply outlast its damage output, such as the [[Huginn]] or [[Vindicator]].

While the ~~ship hull~~'s bonuses suggest Light Missiles as an alternative weapon system, this complicates fitting the ship as a whole (when aiming for the maximum number of launchers), as the more complex Light Missile Launchers will require significantly more [[Power Grid]] and [[CPU]].

As such, especially newer players are presented with three alternative strategies when picking weapons:

Similar to [[Interceptor]]s and [[Assault Ship]]s the '''Talwar's''' MWD bonuses strongly suggests always fitting a MicroWarp Drive for faster movement, although an Afterburner might be more interesting for fittings with Light Missile Launchers.

Due to the symmetric slot layout with 3 low and 3 medium powered slots, the ship can be tanked either way. However, due to the limited amount of available slots, the '''Talwar'' should never ignore its own speed and signature radius to out-tank other ships by simply not getting hit.
