In aircraft of the period you had to adjust the trim manually to get 'hands off' flight. The sim is the same. Automatic trim adjustment at the push of a button would be unrealistic.

Also, the rate at which trim can be applied is deliberately limited in the sim, as in early versions, people were using 'trim on a slider' to enhance manouverability. Yes, out-of-trim flight makes dogfighting difficult, but everyone has the same problems...
