Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
I kind of like it the way it is - it give you a little more strategy when placing your boats (possible next to each other) since the other person may not know which boat they sunk or not.
But if this is changed, hopefully it is just to "new" games and not to games already in progress.
