Yes, this was an evolution of the escort : as Radio, cameras became more reliable, the need for a spare lessened, but the need for protections remained (and even increased !). Note that the escort planes were able to perform the mission and occasionnally did The other point was range. The Caudron R11 could escort the Breguet from the "Divisions Aériennes" very deep in German lines. Indeed, their role was highly praised by bomber pilots, but the cost was high

Caudron G6, Letord and Caudron R4 were mainly reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft. The G6 was not very fit for air combat but the R4 and Letord were maneuvrable enough to provide cover. Only the R11 was designed with good escort capacities (including armored pilot seat, which was noticed by goering among others) Among the French, it was common practice to fly recon and arty spotting missions with at least 2 planes : One was performing the mission, the other acted as a spare and was protecting the first one. Aces like Fonck scored their first skills this way. As a side note, there is no record of those planes performing a bombing mission and it is very unlikely.

Caudron G6/R4/R11 or Letord would be a lot of fun :) I've read an account of a recon mission performed by 3 Caudrons R11 (2 escorts) against 6 German scouts : could really be fun to fly !!!!

The La Soane and the Jules Verne are really a great addition, because we will have very realistic french task forces
