thats the generally the same tactic when it comes to all things in this gamae, bombing is no different.

/me works very hard not to make a troll-bait comment about that. 
Anyway, seems like ECM bombing is working the best with the fighters, so thanks to everyone who suggested that. With three slots for ECM, I can get ridiculously close without PD spotting me, my bombers, or their bombs. Pretty nice.

Super advanced tactic: manual target a point just in front of the planet so that your missiles circle that location instead of impacting the planet.
Ties up a couple more PD lasers, especially if the ship you have has no PSMs, and is just firing missiles to cover the PSMs themselves.

Or you could just get a couple of your combat/assault dreads with accompanying suppies, with all ECMs running, to get in close with the planet to tie up their defences while you bomb away from medium range.
