Update:

These are consistently taking over 55 shots to sink in 100 Random Tests against my AI



' really harder

Data "VC2VI6VC7VA2VJ2","HC5VI3VC0VF6VF2","VA4HF8HF2VB2VE6","VC5VF6HG5VH1VC0","HC2VD5VI2VG5HF0","EOD"

Here is a snap shot of the report after each one was tested 100 times:

Next! to study the positions to learn if there is anything special about these layouts that I can detect.

Ah I see something already! a V dominance of positioning. That works because I test for horizontal layouts in my systematic shooting around a first hit for a second one! So 2 extra shots taken for every ship positioned vertical. hmm... the enemy could easily exploit this.

I've been going around in circles trying to get AI to randomly shoot around a first hit on a ship but to follow the direction of a second hit until ship is sunk or that way stops getting hits and then to shoot at the opposite direction!

I do have the average maximum shots under 60, repeat on average, that seems a slight improvement.
