It seems that the Pe8 may be having a brake sticking while undertaking ground movements.

Kind of feels like the old He 111 on the ground.

Taxi out of your spawn point and use the brake to turn onto runway and the plane spins around the main gear wheel that had the brake applied and no ammount of correction with rudder or application of opposite brake will couinteract it.

All you can do is pull back on power and wait for it to stop spinning, then try again.

The IL-4 does not behave this way.

Did not see this in testing.
