And while on topic: If we go by maximum safe diving speeds then all aircraft in IL-2/CoD are overmodelled
Actually your VNE (Velocity Never Exceed) rely also on the air condition like outside pressure or turbulences. The more you get the less your VNE will be.

Have a look here: and switch to 7min. It explains how to dive a P47. Look how VNE decrease with alt.
