There is a problem with your theory. You see, It's not like, say, Rimworld, in which the more powerful you are the harder it gets. It's to do with who you're up against.
For example, pretend there are three factions, including yourself.

One faction, we'll this one Great Britain, has 15 bases and owns practically the entire city. They're obviously going to have the better firepower.
Another faction, we'll call this one San Marino, has one base and owns about two or three buildings. Obviously, this one would be the one with less firepower.

To sum it up, you COULD invade a behemoth of a player and get extreme base attacks, or you could invade the small ones and the raids will be significantly easier to repel.

grr. Not what he was asking and I haven't been able to find an answer either.
Is the player limited to level 1 base attacks, or can you use level 2/3 like the ai? And if so, how?

The human player is restricted to level one base attacks for balancing reasons. The only way you could launch higher level base attacks would be to mod the game so you could launch said base attacks, “I am working on such mod”.
The AI get leveled base attacks because unlike a human player that is the only way bots can take over other players bases.

me and my friend were playing and we saw ai use lvl 2 base attacks and we only used level even though we were richer and had more bases then the ai player
is there a way to level up base attacks

Hey, this is a note for anyone looking at this discussion I have created an addon that allows players to launch said higher level base attacks.
