Hm, interesting, these are Gotha G bombers, not R bombers. The Riesenfluzeug had to meet certain criteria and were distinct from G bombers by their size and other criteria, one of which was that engines and stuff had to be able to be accessed in flight, with a degree of mobility offered to the crews. R aircraft also were operated by special R units, although the designation did not become official until 1915 and the first R aircraft had G designations. The IdFlieg produced the defining document, the BLVR, that catered for the needs of the R aircraft in 1917, that differentiated them from the conventional G bombers. The opening sentence (translated into English) states;

"The R plane is distinguished from G-Type and smaller aircraft by its ability to fly for several hours with very large loads. Correspondingly, it is equipped with powerful engines, means for self defence, navigation instruments and communication devices. The R plane must be capable of performing short flights with a great load of bombs or very long-range flights without bombs, in which case it should utilize its total lifting capacity to carry extra fuel. Provisions must be made to replace the bombs with fuel tanks on such occasions. From a military standpoint the ability of the crew to change places quickly is of great value."
