I've a suspicion that the AI in il2 was designed for energy fighting, which meant that the Zero had to be turned into an energy fighter, whereas in real life it was a superb turn fighter. I find the Wildcat much too prone to stalls, and thus less fun than it might be.
You may be caught in a dive by a Zero practically in only these two situations (in game)...

-you've been chased by Ai - it does not obey same rules as humans,
-you have been in initial stages of dive (i.e. only stated to build up speed).

In all other situations you will clearly outdive A6M2 in game.
