Not when first flyable, a later patch v4.05/6 I think messed up the ground handling.

The Pe-8 tail lock method works well, hope it get fixed quicker than the 2+ years it took to get the He111 done

Been flying taildraggers since 1977.

I learned to fly in a Piper J5 in '96. Looping can be a problem, but the problem is greatly exaggerated in the game's TB-7. Unless you keep it's tailwheel locked 100% of the time, taxiing is simply impossible. You just spin in place, no matter how much diff braking or opposing assymetric thrust you use.
