As already said, get patch 1.3,
As for mods, while i don't recommend playing vanilla (as first impressions are everythign, and vanilla has some annoyances) i can't stand here and say, "download this mod pack", as much as i'd like to. But for starters, id get the following mods:

Silent Service Graphics mod by Captain Cox (primarly just a mod that adds graphics to the games shell, but it really gives you a glimpse of real subs in the pacific)

Somewhere out there is a realistic battery mod, as stock batts drain way too fast, and im pretty sure there has to be a dive times mod too. I can't be the only one who's ever changed this. In stock, boats take about 1min and 10 seconds to dive. Historically a 40 second dive time was the BARE minium, but a 35 second dive time is what was strived for, so the dive times are waaaaaaaay off in stock.
