The fastest you can go in a jug in a dive is about 550 IAS, which should be around 650 or so in TAS which is still short of mach 1 at sea level. Just last night a freaking 190D-9 was able to follow me in this dive w/o breaking up. Therefore, the jug is not the only plane that can dive consistently at that speed.

Well I dived a few planes on Crimea map from 10 000m strait down to see what's maximum TAS.
Now since I don't know exactly at which altitude and what speed in kmh mach is reached I took 1224kmh as that is equal to Mach 1 at SeaLevel just to be totally sure, the only plane that got over 1200kmh TAS was P-47D(I managed 1250 before brake-up) they all broke up at roughly 3000m.
I tried with P-51D, 190D9,109k4, MkIX and P-47 ofcourse, several time.
However since all of them went past 1100 it's possible all of them are very close or even over Mach 1 but P-47 was like I said the only one to pass 1200kmh.
All in all I kinda remember TD mentioned something on compression effects and max mach numbers so I'll refrase my wish to:
"Fix insane dive speed ability in game on all planes - please"
I hope that one sounds better
