    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.

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

      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.
