That makes no sense at all,
For starters, SH5 is a technically superior platform.
Then SH4 is a PTO theatre sim, so to make it an ATO sim you need to start from the ground up:
1) import all the Uboats and interiors,
2) ALL the ATO units
3) Import or re-script the entire 39 - 45 campaign over the atlantic, med, north, baltic, arctic and carribean seas!
And thats just the bare minimum!
This is partly why we never saw GWX4, because to do it properly, it was five times the work that SH3 platform required.
Now at with least SH5 you already got solid foundations for a U-boat sim already in place.
The type VII is already there, so it needs the other boats, plus the scripted campaign for 43-45 and handful of new AI units, (especially merchants and late war aircraft types)
The latter is much, MUCH less work.
So IMHO, going back to SH4 would be a giant step backwards for ATO modders.
