I went AA-build on my Iowa because she doesn't handle close-quarters combat very well for a number of reasons (the citadel actually being rather low on my list of reasons for why), but I went secondary-build on my Montana. The only other viable alternative is AA-build, so it's really a matter of choice. It is also worth noting that I had my NC secondary spec'd.because I was going to transfer Steven Seagal to the Missouri as soon as I have the Free XP. Now if only the 5"/38 wasn't a bleh anti-ship weapon both historically and even further so in-game. Montana's characteristics seem pretty similar as well, although the #3 and #5 guns have slightly-worse arcs forward in exchange for better arcs when facing behind, and the #1 gun is virtually impossible to keep on target if they're behind you, though this is more of a consequence of T10 battleship handling than anything else. Iowa and Missouri seem to have better arcs on the rearmost (5th) turret and worse ones on the fourth mount when firing forwards, along with worse rear arc on the #3 gun, compared to NC. North Carolina appears to be very similar to Alabama in secondary firing arc characteristics, at least when shooting towards the front - I believe at least the #2 gun has worse arc facing behind her than on Alabama. 3 of your 5 turrets per side can fire just a few degrees off of straight forwards, and all 5 turrets per side can be firing while you're still less than 30 degrees off of bow-on although the margin for having all 5 firing and being overexposed is very thin, her handling makes that a virtual non-issue. It's worth noting that Alabama has undisputably the best secondary arcs of any battleship in the game. Not German levels of performance, but since both the NC and the Bama are the brawliest of the usn fast BBs, having the secondaries pitch in and help is better than nothing. I've heard of people building their Bamas for secondaries, and they seem to do fairly well.
