Or Bomber/Attack for that matter.
What I am suggesting is that when you go to hanger and select P47D40 and click on fighter it gives you the set-up you last used in fighter mode (in my case 50% and DT). When you go into hanger and select P47D40 and click attack you get last saved loadout in attack mode (in my case the full ord Monty). If you just want to fly what you did the last time in that ride nothing would change from the way it is now. Just hit the launch button.
Could include convergence in the same manner.
