I can give you some very basic information right now. All you have to do is look for the titles to get more detailed info.
RFB (Real Fleet Boat) is a history-based mod which corrects most of the games problems and attempts to make everything work as it did in real life.
TMO (Trigger Maru Overhaul) is a very highly detailed conversion which also fixes most of the issues. The difference is that some of the enemy units were made better than they were in real life, the point being that when they work exactly as they did in real life they also become very predictable, making the actual play much easier than it really was. With TMO the player's knowledge of enemy actions is limited, so the player is forced to think about what he's doing.
GFO (Game Fixes Only) is exactly what the name implies. It isn't a rewrite of campaigns or AI, it just lets you play the stock game with all the bugs fixed (at least the ones that can be).
FOTRS (Fall Of The Rising Sun) is based on TMO and adds a bunch of mods favored by the AOTD mod group.
RSRDC (Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign) is a major reworking of the game's campaign layers, scripting in historical convoy and major task force movements to limit them to actual times and areas. Good for all of them, vital for GFO and RFB.
OM (Operation Monsun) is a complete reworking of the German campaign, bringing it up to the standards of the better SH3 supermods. Lacks the graphics add-ons (active harbors and extra ships) of the SH3 versions, but it provides the AI fixes and a great experience for the 'other' side of the game.
IXD2 is a great "minimod" for the German side. It doesn't have the complete campaign of OM, but it does wonders for the boat itself and takes the 1943 Monsun campaign in the Pacific to the max.
My apologies to any I forgot, and please feel free to add them to the list.
