A BBV has slots worth 10-11 planes, with a Zuiun Model 12 (634 Air Group), each slot is worth 6 points (9 points if you have access to Zuiun Model 12 (634 Air Group) I guess). That's hilariously low when you consider that a standard slot of 20 on a carrier is worth just under 45 with a Reppu. The only somewhat recent map I can think of where you had to fill pretty much all your carrier slots with fighters/recons is Summer's E-6 and deploying BBVs there would've been stupid.

If you're sortieing to a map with little to no carriers, that's all the more reason to field your own since their opening air strike will destroy the opposing fleets with impunity.

Well-equipped BBV can definitely a lot of things, but lack the firepower when it matters and start falling off even against Elite BBs, let alone Flagship ones. Oh and there's the fact that seaplane bombers can be wiped out, disabling their artillery spotting.
