I'm pretty sure that if SH5 were just like SH4+UBM with improved graphics (and maybe the ability to move around the sub freely), except for a few individuals, the community here would have welcomed it with open arms.

I'm not saying there wouldn't have been any criticism, maybe centered around the lack of innovation, but at least it would have been a solid base from which start modding.
+10 totally agree. The new UI the devs dreamed up was total FAIL, Uber FAIL, EPIC FAIL.

Just take what was GOOD (the devs knew darn well what we liked and disliked about SH4) and keep it. FIX the crap that was still broke in SH4, update graphics, and walking through the sub was BONUS. They could have released an epic subsim that would have floored almost all users.
