The Barracuda was a bit of a dog really. It's spec included a requirement for dive bombing, torpedo dropping and for being able to spot for battleships. This led to the awkward three man crew, mid wing layout with long complex gear and windows below. The torpedo dropping meant a large thick wing for good low speed lift and the dive bombing meant a heavy structure and dive brakes. The other problem was British engine manufacturers' inability to produce a reliable enough 2,000 hp engine for it until 1944. So this big heavy aircraft was saddled with an under-powered Merlin until the Griffon arrived. The Barracuda also had low speed handling issues with rudder overbalancing which killed a few crews during torpedo practice.
From an AH plane perspective the only half decent British carrier aircraft of WW2 was the Fairey Firefly. This was a two seat attack aircraft armed with four Hispanos and about 2,000 lb of bombs. It wasn't all that fast but had Fowler flaps so could turn very tightly. It mainly served in the anti-Tirpitz missions off Norway and with the British Pacific Fleet off Japan.
Some might say the Swordfish was the best British carrier plane of the war but it was helpless against any sort of fighter opposition and so where possible was flown at night or out of range of enemy fighter cover. With the aid of radar RN pilots became very adept at night attack missions with flare-dropping Swordfishes silhouetting enemy ships for torpedo-dropping Swordfishes. For AH its hard to see a use for it outside of a Channel Dash scenario, which would undoubtedly end up the with the same result as in RL.
