And in the end try with different values for drag for each plane like it is in most real life cases.
yep, and it is only valid for 90 degree dive. You will have to multiply gravity force (mxg) with sine of the dive angle (assuming zero degrees of AoA) in a very simplified case. In the end, the final effect is marginal as tests show and as it is correctly modeled in Il-2 that has the basic physics 100% right.
