The Widgeon is the combat variant of the goose, offering an additional 1000 hull strength over its mercantile counterpart. The vessel lacks the singular stern cannon of the Goose, instead including two size four cannons situated on the bow, better suited for chasing down fleeing enemies. With a respectable broadside of 4 size six cannons the widgeon can pack quite a punch, half of the broadside is completely enclosed, offering superb protection for the gunners. The widgeon retains a respectable cargo hold of 9 crates, though the lacklustre 6 speed and poor turning rate renders it useless for piracy. While the high profile of the ship ensures its cannons have respectable range it is also the ships biggest weakness; making it an extremely easy target for even the most inexperienced gunners. When paired with the previously mentioned manoeuvrability limitations these drawbacks result in a ‘combat fluyt’ that would be more appropriately named the ‘sitting duck’.
