Is that the case with Super Hornets too?

  Yes, the 18s and 16s have relatively low fuel capacity in comparison to the 14. The F-35 finally improved on tank capacity quite a bit.

  Super hornets have about 100mi shorter combat range than the Tomcat. That said they are capable of buddy air-air refueling so that can extend their range by a bit (at the cost of an extra pilot, airframe, and associated costs which doesn’t get to carry a useful payload).
