A few years ago my Corsair squadron was doing a lot of ground pounding. We got pretty good at skip bombing, but a train of Corsairs on a bombing run proved to be dangerous to anyone who wasn't flying the lead. We ended up flying a pattern around the target area and rolled in one by one as the CO called for us. Pilots that had already dropped their A/G ordnance either circled high as a CAP or flew parallel to the line of attack in order to act as a decoy for the AA fire.
