Depend on how yo say "better".

Carrier might have opening attack phase but it is heavily dependant on your planes and enemy's AA, you also might lose quite a bit of bauxite if it didn't go well.

Shelling phase Carriers might have easier time reaching attack power cap, but BB can do it with decent equips anyway.

The thing is that, CV can't attack at night, which is quite a big handicap, coupled with the fact that CV can't join shelling phase when moderately damaged, having lower armor and hp than BB means that they can only be support force.
