You bring up some good points about the grind, and how hard it is to play a CV1-3. I play both BB and CV, and I have found the CV experienced more enjoyable. Sure it sucks when you are facing another CV that fighter camps you with a 100+ Fighter pilot.
However, you have to find a nice role and fill it in for the team. If you get fighter camped, and your fighters would just be food, just wait them out or steam towards a friendly AA whore who would be happy to shred them fighters up. Now launch your bombers, and igore being called "cv bomber whore noob". You know launching fighters would be a waste.
Now the same issue happens to BB players in the 1-3 range because you are food for the BB4s+ and outranged easily. These BB players have to bid their time on the line, stay out of way of your larger BBs, and shoot anything small that tries to come into your line.
So both grinds are even in my eyes, and I have not noticed such a large experience gap in my CV. The CV is already offers heavy incentives to play because of the massive amount of credits you can earn. Plus the CV difference between CV-1-5 is very minute. For instance going from Independence to Lexington gives you more space and one more plane to launch. While that is an improvement, it is not as massive as going from BB-2-3-4.
The biggest game changers for CVs are leveling your pilots, it is like getting larger turret space on a BB.
You make a point about better game experience, I don't even think playing as a team is the problem. It is the general attitude of the player base, and those of the nicer players standing by saying nothing. You can't go a single game without seeing "noob" thrown around, and no one says anything in return. Sure ignoring these trolls is one solution, but I point out to these players that their attiture is doing nothing to help the NF community.
Since when did this divide between CV and BB players happen? Since when was it such a chore for a BB player to launch their own scouts? This community has really turned sour, and if we all focus on this we can turn things around.
