The in-game controls mirror the real ones.
Lufty aircraft do differential braking through independent left/right wheel brakes:
People with rudder pedals that have toe brakes find them easy to use because it works just like in IL2.
People with twist-grip sticks that use buttons/keyboard for braking have to map separate controls for each brake, plus a control for both brakes.
RAF aircraft have a single brake control that sends compressed air to activate the brakes, a valve tied to the rudder pedals distributes more/less braking power to each:
If you push the rudders (RUDDERS not toe brakes) while applying the brake lever, a valve in the pneumatic line changes position and sends more air to the corresponding brake.
People with twist-grip sticks that use buttons/keyboard for braking find this very easy to use because it works the same way they are used to from IL2 (just press brake and twist the stick).
People with rudder pedals and toe brakes get confused because they need to map a separate command for "all brakes active" (the default wheel brake commad) and then turn with their rudder (NOT the toe brakes).
I hope this helps clear up the confusion somewhat.
