The USN have dedicated land bombardment ships, as well as destroyer-mounted rocket artilleries, similar to the WG42 in-game. They saw actions in D-Day and other landing operations. Also, with Super-Heavy Shells, those 16-inch guns on battleships can do the job just fine as well. The Americans land-based heavy bombers can also carry a modified version of the Tallboy, a British 12000-pound bomb, for anti-installation purposes.

In the very late stage of the war, the USN also introduced "Tiny Tim", a large aircraft-launched rocket that was originally thought to be an anti-ship rocket, but finished as a bunker buster. Tim saw limited service in the battle of Okinawa, but became the basis of later, more advanced aerial rockets and missiles.

As for the 5-inch HVAR aerial rockets, they don't pack enough power to destroy bunkers, but are very popular and effective against smaller land-based targets like tanks, unarmored buildings, trenches, etc.

And don't even think about introducing nukes, remember that Japan is still the only country ever to be bombed by nuclear weapons in actual combat. If KDKW have problems introducing Kamikazes and Kaitens, it would be even less possible for nukes to be introduced.
