not really...if i count all the easy destroyed lefhs in some games...i could easy build 4-5 priest or sexton. static arty are so easy to counter..but mobile not...so its not that expansive if you handle it smart

I would argue the opposite, You can build an LefH or ml20, 2 feet from your base and it's range will cover all relevant areas of the map, any AA at all and you won't get recon through to it to arty it out and good luck getting a tank there to kill the crew, let alone destroy the gun. Whereas with the short range of mobile arty and their inherent vulnerability to tanks, you can easily dive or flank them due to the fact they need to be significantly closer to where they fire from. So many times have I just driven straight in with a panzer 4/panther/puma and killed 2-3 sextons/priests and blitzkrieged out before they can respond. Even if you lose the panzer 4 that's a no brainer trade. I can often deal with one or 2 mobile arty myself, I often need a teammate to help me counter an LefH.

when you build such static gun...you can bet that it will be destroyed per callins arty from any allie player...so no...
you never played against a good player who abuse this doctrine, right? i had a replay where i able to arty some minutes the vp so my enemy couldnt cap it...i defenced it without a single near combat unit..only arty and callins.
you should read the other CP in this doc....they are very good and anyoing when someone abuse them

The royal artillery doctrine itself doesn't have recon+ off map.

That is a bit inaccurate.
"Early warning" is a Recon
"Concentration barrage" is practically an "Off map" for all practical purposes (it is simply delivered from on map indestructible guns). It can be used to destroy an on map artillery piece.

it's not an off map because it has a max range
it's also weak as piss unless you blow a load of fuel for Anvil and lock yourself out of hammer, should be able to shell FoW BUT british howitzers in base should be more vulnerable to enemy fire and require a MP cost to repair. (or possibly moving them as an upgrade for the mortar pit)

I would like to see this doctrine just ripped up and sorted out it's been ignored and mediocre for too long when you have perfectly good models like the Valentine and Sexton just getting zero use because they have been UP since release.
lefh:~3.538
105:~3.667
ml-20:3.412
sexton: 2.250

*can be used to mildly injure the area around an on map artillery piece and maybe tickle the crew if you get lucky.
Also getting anvil locks you out of hammer obviously but otherwise lefh isn’t getting countered with arty.
you can't use early warning + nuke on a backline howitzer.
Sane people tend to put their howitzer somewhere beside the frontline.

And how would this be different from OKW map hack (cheaper, longer range, comes earlier) in combination with defense commander's LeFH or stuka?
The Sexton is a categorically bad, under performing unit in every single regard and been so since release. It needs something if its to be a useful unit and if not, it should be removed and replaced with something that is useful.
If buffing it makes the commander OP then other aspects of commander needs to be adjusted.

...Is the IRHT scan range larger than the valentines? I honestly don't know their ranges.

Both valentine and IRHT have a range of 120. ("the grass is always greener on the other side of fence")
