Well, the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was supposed to be a combination dive bomber and torpedo bomber, but didn't replace the Avenger due to being an unsatisfactory aircraft. The next aircraft on a tech tree would be the just-barely postwar Douglas A-1 Skyraider, which famously kept on truckin' all the way into Vietnam. It would be a serious upgrade too, as it could carry about 1 WW2 heavy bomber's worth of ordnance despite being a single engine aircraft.
