Carriers fullfilling the wrong role.

[Tenacity]

Here are the following shipclasses in this game, as far as mod balance is concerned:

Light Fighters
Heavy Fighters
Very Heavy Fighters
Bombers
Gunboats
Cruisers
Battlecruisers
Battleships

There is no carrier class, carrier is a name and type of roleplay, nothing more. Carriers are fit into the above classes based on model size and attributes.

Now sure, you can say there are sub-classes in these as well... Ultra-Light Fighters, Superheavy Fighters, Heavy bombers, Gunships, Destroyers, Light battleships, and heavy battleships, but they're still all split up into those basic categories.

A specific "carrier" category wont be added, the ships are rare as is (only 3 carriers in the game), and all 3 are balanced differently based on what the faction they belong to needed at the time. Liberty needed a heavy battleship to deal with rheinland, the IMG/Zoners needed light battleships (as they already had heavy ones), the order needed a battlecruiser. That's what we got, they just happened to be given the name "carrier" to give an extra dimension to roleplay with these ships.

let's leave it at that, shall we?
