In il2, if an aircraft has it's tail shot away, it tumbles. In real life an aircraft in this situation would dive towards the ground vertically.

The change in the Centre of Gravity of the aircraft would have caused the aircraft to point towards mother earth and no control inputs would have changed this.

Also, if an aircraft looses a wing, does it continue to rotate until it hits the ground?

Best Regards,

I'm more concerned with just getting the enemy aircraft out of the war

Are you sure? Got any videos of a crashing bomber? Or what do you take your conclusions from?

The wings still produce lift and without the stabilizer, they would probably tumble around the most heavy point, which should be the wings or slightly behind that area.
