I would like to see the autopilot (auto trim) setting stay set in "auto speed" or "auto angle" when jumping to a gunner position. Forcing it to "auto level" doesn't seem reasonable for gunning -- bombing yes, but not for gunning.
Also, I'd like to have the zoom toggle and setting maintained when switching between pilot/gunner/external/bombsight positions. Switching positions on the bomb run can get confusing enough without the zoom toggling on and off.

I'd really like to see this changed! I've never understood why it was programmed this way for gun positions.
Auto-level when I'm in the bomb site, but don't auto-level upon entering gun positions.

if you are in auto-climb (alt+x) and jump to your guns you will continue your climb. I fly like this all the time. Right after gear up I hit alt+x for auto-climb and jump to ball turret>external view.

I think it's only the bombsight view that changers the autopilot to level. I switch to gunns all the time and stay on the set autopilot. I can see how the bomsight would be less accurate if the plane was not level, but it might be interesting. I like to put the auto speed on 175 or 200 for making my decent for recovery.
