In other words, the aircraft in this situation becomes an 'arrow'.

This is just one point of view, if you don't consider the loss of stability. In some instance the object may remain stable and shoot into the ground - or a small disturbance can throw the aircraft into non-stable regime and crash just as it is simulated in Il2 and just as physical simulations show..
