When a fighter "takes a dive" it means he intentionally loses the fight, the "dive" being a fall.

The term "dive" when referring to aircraft...and not specifically to "dive bombers", means to crash. Example(s): "...he took a dive...", "he dove in", "...he dived in...", "...he went in...", etc.

"Takes a dive" does seem to have a different meaning then simply "dive". When a planes dives, it just noses over and goes straight down or at least at a steep angle.
