Given that the real stealth fighter's payload capacity falls short of that offered in F-19, the sequel gives players the choice of aircraft: a "realistic" model carrying weapons in only two payload bays, or a variant retaining the four bays of the plane of the first game.

Points per mission are awarded for success or failure, as well as radar and visual detection, and identification by enemy installations and aircraft.

The game's manual includes in-depth discussion of types of radar detection and how to avoid it, called "threading the needle".

Its 3D engine was also optimised and used to create the graphics for Task Force 1942: Surface Naval Action in the Pacific in 1992.
