The Germans relied on dive bombers like the Stuka early on. The western Allies used twin-engine TBs which attacked from lower altitudes with far greater accuracy than strategic bombers. They also used fighter bombers which flew fast and low. Ironically, some of the best tactical "bombers" were fighters like the P-47 Thunderbolt, Hawker Typhoon and F4U Corsair which could be adapted to carry anti-personnel fragmentation bombs, rockets and napalm. Fighter squadrons were typically larger, too -- 18 to 24 aircraft. Such fighter-bombers would also have attacked in element succession of pairs or fours, not as a massed wing of 2 or 4-engine bombers all at once.
