The premise, in the publisher's words

Hellcats: Missions at Leyte Gulf is the sequel to Hellcats Over The Pacific (HotP). You are a naval pilot of the F6F "Hellcat" in one of the best early 3D rendered open-world flight simulators. After this project, Graphic Simulations used the same base code to make the next generation flight simulator F/A-18 Hornet. There are 8 new missions in the Leyte Gulf (Phillipines) theater. New added features included the use of rockets and torpedos. We encounter a brand new enemy aircraft, the Ki-84 "Frank" (first encountered in Mission X), a far superior adversary than the Mitsubishi Ay6M "Zero" in HotP. In addition, new allied aircraft make appearances, including the Lockheed P-38 "Lightning."
