If you had a ship on every possible space, they would have a 100% chance of landing a hit, so by your logic this would be worse. But it would take 100 turns to sink you, which is the best possible outcome.
Having only one 5 space ship is objectively worse than having one five space ship and all the others. Unless of course you also created a new rule that they have to hit the same spot multiple times, once for each ship.
At that point you’re just playing Calvin Ball, though, and you might as well put the ships under your chair and claim “You never said floor!”
You know what, i’m in :)
On my field, i’ll have a ship on every single square, so no matter where you aim, you score a hit :)
And on your field, you just have 1 ship of 5 long, so i have only a 5% chance to hit :).
Do remember though, the game ends when all our ships are sunk.
So you will have to do 100 shots every round to win (covering every single square)
While i just have to find your ship (with some basic strategies, i’d estimate not even needing 20 shot to do that), and then i win :).
…
starting to get it? XD
you’re focusing so hard on how easy it is to hit a ship, that you forget the goal of the game: sink every ship.
If my entire playfield is ships, you’ll indeed hit with every single shots, but you’ll also need the maximum of 100 shots every game to ‘win’ XD.

Yeah, because the challenge in Battleship is primarily the locating of the battleships. Having a 100% chance of being hit would indeed be bad.

Lol. I’m starting to wonder if you ever really played Battleship. You sound like you’d be terrible at the game.
How so? Am I wrong?
On a very fundamental and obvious level. It’s why you have all those down votes.
