Sadly this is something that works most of the time. There's a minimum altitude to which AI fighters follow you from deep dive. Same goes for the minimum cruise altitude, just try and make flight of IL2s to fly to their destination at for example 40 meters. The leader usually manages it, but the others climb to ~200m, dive down, climb back etc. I think this was added at around the time Pacific Fighters as I remember making missions with JABOs flying at VERY low altitudes towards their targets before PF.
