I'd have to try it but I rarely jump to blaming the IL-2 FM for my own failings. I know both planes pretty well and I'm not sure.

We don't have a P-47C so we can't test that directly. With any of the P-47D's I know I could easily out dive a Spitfire and put some serious distance between myself and the Spit. The pull up I'm somewhat less certain of. I'd have to read up on the technique involved for sure.
