If you are looking for a fresh perspective on the game, carriers might be the place to start. They are a fun, challenging and unquestionably the most crucial ship class in the game.
The entire team looks to their carriers as a source of protection from bombers and most importantly vision for the team during the battle.

Starter Tips
Carriers can operate quickly or slowly. A quick carrier can respond to changing circumstances.
To begin with you have a small tier V carrier with few planes, a runway that can launch 5 planes at a time and very weak level 1 planes.
When loading planes it's quicker to ready two or three at a time over four or five which take longer to fuel. On small maps being quick is imperative.
You can control 5 groups of planes at one time. You will usually want fighters up first, protecting you and your team. Once secure then begin loading bombers. Rotate planes that are low on fuel.
TIP: At level 1-59 use torpedo bombers and stay clear of enemy ships to preserve your planes. Level 1 dive bombers just evaporate to AAW.
TIP: When engaging other groups of fighters if you're outnumbered or the enemy is a greater level than you, lure their planes down into your friendly ships AAW radius to shred them.
From this point its up to you to read the battle situation as it develops. Are you getting harassed by small ships, or bombed by another carrier. What targets are easy to bomb, what scouts can you mop up.
Carriers have to be able to think about several different things at once and pay attention to important matters in the air first.
