When loading the program v1.5 loads with a silhouette of a U boat with the tag "U Boat Missions", and at the main menu screen in the lower RH corner "v1.5" is displayed.
IMO both versions are solid but have a few "undocumented features" that are discussed in SS, and workarounds written by a few dedicated souls in various threads. v1.5 is the target program for most of the mods.

As far as mods/patches/fixes/updates, SubSim is chock full of 'em with a number of threads generated by the gifted and prolific SubSim Kaleuns who picked up the ball after Ubisoft lost interest. Checking the Stickies in this thread is a good start.

Good hunting!

Thanks to all for your feedback, many thanks.
