There is/ was. The german term for that is "Abfangautomatik für den Sturzflug". Is was a standard in the Ju 87 and AFAIK in the Ju 88 and coupled with the BZG/ -visier. It's purpose was to assist the pilot in the pullout right after the dive bombing. It controlled the speed (engine rpm), bomb release, airleons and dive brakes.
