blenhiem torque?

If it turns always in one direction, even with different planes, then my bet is that is where the wind is coming from.
Those taildraggers always try to point into the wind, so it is pretty difficult to start with crosswind.

Consider also that taildraggers are inherently unstable on the ground. They were somewhat tamed in Il2, and probably they’re more realistically modelled in CoD. Taxi a real life taildragger is often more difficult than flying it, and can’t be done beyond a certain crosswind component. For this reason, WWI aerodromes were round, and nose-wheel gears are today standard for trainers.
