No they are not....
I think it's because none of the forces in the game use it....
as far as I know, they are used by the US Navy while we have US Marine Corps and US Army in the game.

There is the default BF2 model, which is being reskinned for the ADF faction. Other than that, the F18 doesn't feature at all.

Is that an F-18 B with LSE Addon? Care to leave your number in that case? Just for when you feel a bit down, you know.

If the F-18 is being rekinned for ADF, then should Canada get it as well? hmmmm...

Yeah but pretty much what Punkbuster said, only the US Navy uses the F-18 in the American forces. They are launched from Nimitz class aircraft carriers, not the Essex you see in-game. Modeling an entire detailed aircraft carrier will take longggg time tbh.

The simplest answer to the question is yes, vBF2 dose have an F-18 model but no, its not in PR because we have no USMC (/ US Navy) maps large enough (4km +) to take a F-18 and also a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier would be required in order to have an Amphibious Assault map with an F-18, but that doesn't mean you can't have a land based map with an F-18 in it.
The same also goes for an ADF or Canadian map that would want to feature the F-18, although an Amphibious Assault map with an F-18 isn't an option for that for obvious reasons, unless you wanted the US Navy F-18 support in your map but then you would still require a Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier.

The AV-8B Harrier is also not ingame for the same reason, although the Harrier could operate from the Wasp class LHD (The carrier ingame) but we still need a map big enough (4kms) with the LHD on it to do that.


As I say to everyone who asks why we don't have any maps fit for these aircraft, the simple reason is we don't have enough mappers to make every possible map for every possible faction and as such, if you want it its really up to someone like you to learn how to do mapping and make a map fit for these kind of vehicles. The learning curve for leaning mapping isn't very steep with all the tutorials out there and its just a matter of putting the work in to get it done ;)
