They had landing craft with tanks on the upper deck providing fire support. The British used Centaur tanks armed with 95mm guns but IIRC landing forces also used Sherman tanks and 25pdr and 105mm SP Guns for this purpose.
There were also armed landing craft like LCT(R) armed with hundreds of rocket projectors and LCGs armed with guns.
