all good ideas. I also prefer the clean SH5 UI to the SH3/4 one, but anything than can be added to make it more functional is a good idea.
a couple of points:
1. most of the icons on the top center can be removed now by clicking on them;
2. I use the TC buttons in the top right corner all the time and find them very handy;
3. I prefer to have the periscope offset to one side, since you can drag and shape the TAI map on the left side and look at the map and scope at the same time;
4. I like the way the TDC works, very clean, intuitive and functional. My only suggestion would be to see if it could be lowered a bit so that it does not cover so much of the screen. On the other hand, having it there, makes it easier to keep an eye on the target and work on your solution at the same time;
