I thought they just changed the radios level?

SPG LeFH18 B2: fixed parameters of radio FuG-8, changed wrong weight number, changed the combat level.

Love the looks of this tank! looks like a decent gun?

It makes extremely low damage VS tier 6-7, but it fires very fast, zooms in quickly, and a platoon of this arty can counter arty very well.

Oh yeah and the gun angle is about 75% of GWpanthers, so it's nice!

Do you recommend it?

Well, I think it's fun, and it's really fun when a T-50 goes around you unable to penetrate.
But, yeah I'd rate it 7/10 for that price.

What would good crew skills be for this tank? im unable to work it out

Camo, clutch braking, that perk for increased radio range (never thought that would be usefull in any tank rofl), lightbulb perk, mentor - it earns very little XP. Too little for a premium tank.

I went BiA (for reload/aim speed mainly) and camo.

thank you both

well, I do have ONE small curiosity: WHO was the genius, the expert in rocket science, the EINSTEIN... who, after giving this SPG NO splash damage (really? are there artillery HE shells with no splash damage? Where? On mars?), so little effective damage vs. armor (-yup! You hit directly a big mighty KV for... 30 damage...) and then decided with such great wisdom that THIS SPG should fight in battles against Tier VII (e.g. - The tiger) or Tier VIII?
I would really like to know who this genius was, so I could shake his hand and then condemn him at playing with this tank only against IS's, KV5, Type 59 for an eternity. 'Cause that genius deserves no less than this.
And also, I have a strong suspicion that this genius has something to do with the current match-making, working - as we all know - as intended.
PS The more I think about, the more I can not accept that the creator of the MatchMaking would be human. Otherwise, a simple test would have proven that what he just did was stupid. I strongly suspect that the fellow who did this to this arty is klingonian disguised as a human dev.
Please, WG, find and expose the klingonian working in disguise amonst you. For if you are unable to do so, who knows what grave dangers are in store for our planet.

precision 7.5 / 10
reload 9.5 / 10
armor 7 / 10

But
too too too slow (very difficult to move)
shoot of a Nightingale
splash ridiculous

however i have great fun with this arty when matchmaking is decent

I dont play arty, but i tried this one on 7.4 test server, as it was said the rof and accuaracy is great while it has no splash at all. Mobility isn bad at all, sure it is slow but turns quite well and it is very useful in TD mode. Gun traverse is also good. The 105mm gun works fine against tier 6 enemies, but shooting tier 7 heavy is pointless, 0 - 4% damage to KV-3. It doesnt meet tier 8s though, so its ok.

Written like a true andorian.

The pitiful splash damage leads to a big damage spread. It has a problem with KVs if you hit center, but it can do good damage on the engine deck. Tiger is easier to damage, but it really works well against TDs.

The real problem comes when your team barely manages to light up tanks and the sightings alternate from flank to flank.

Nice thing is that it is so heavy that it barely takes a scratch when a scouts ram it. Even rotating takes a chunk from a light. But in this case the enemy arty is better dead, because you dont move far while their shell travels to you.

Can anybody confirm leFH's MM change? Because my thread is ignored..

how is its credit income?

Nothing to write home about.

Credit vise if you are good and with premium: 20 000credits /battle.
Very slow on xp.
Radio is better, its marginaly faster now, but still slow as fck.
Damage is crap still. Shoot IS for 19hp, 15hp, 45hp, 0hp, miss miss miss.....

This arty improves a lot with crew skill. At starting 75% I was extremely disapointed, but now at 85 it improved. I think that I will wait for 100 before I give final judgement. For now I think that xp gain is miserable for a premium tank.

You really expected better damage with such insane rof?
