I would hold off on the mods for a time. Play stock and get a feel for the game first. Once you get it than go with some mods.

There is one mod for the stock game that will improve some of the bugs, etc. called Game Fix Only Mod, by Webster. This is a good one to add to stock.
Check in the mods forum to find them. EDIT GFO is for V1.5 only.

There is a TMO for V1.4 called TMO1.5 and a patch for it TMO patch 1.63.
I'll see if I can find a link.

RSRD is a great mod but you need to have some knowledge of where the real convoys and task forces were so I would go there last.
