Low level players rely on those big ships lack of sight in order to get close and attack them. Most of the low lvl tactics are counting on a ship to loose the scout or loose the fighter sight in order to pass through their blind spot and get in range.
If BB5s are able to see as far as their shells land, then no ship would be able to get close to them undetected and the whole map would be scouted. Yeah, great for CVs since they won't be yelled for scouting... also great for BB5s since they won't need to scout and would never be blind... but very bad for everyone else in the game because they will get 0 attack.
The only thing you would achieve with this is BB5s playing as BB5s and every other player in the game playing as an AA ship since its the only contribution you would be able to do. And then, I can predict a spike of threads about how my own teammates are TKing my airplanes.
How is it the role of a low level ship to take on a BB5? Its not. Your advocating a play-style based on "get in a hit to get my xp and die".
Low level who want to gun it out belong in Blitz. Low level who want to join GBs should accept escort rolls such as anti-aircraft, anti-sub, defending against other small craft and torpedo. Anyone whose ever taken a BB1 from Blitz to GBs knows about accepting your place and role on the NF food chain. There is a reason for all the different game modes and rules.
A BB5 or 6 should not be at the mercy of fog for half of their gun range. Their survival should be based on skill and not that they are blind because the split teamed them with a low level CV being fighter camped by US T4s or they themselves are being fighter camped and can't get a scout in the air. They have earned their gun range.
You want to talk about fairness to the low level players then include the low level CV players that are forced to be food every game. And if THEY try and get some bombing in for xp before they die they receive a tirade of insults for not "knowing THEIR role". There are PCVs and CV6s that can dominate the entire map by themselves.
Your advocating every game mode be played the same. What your advocating is what isn't good for all players or the game.
