To taxi with brakes, you must first see what kind of brakes your aircraft has because that's the way CoD models it as well.

In a hurricane or spit the real aircraft has one universal activator lever for both brakes on the grip of the stick. The rudder bar is then connected to a pressure valve that can regulate more pressure to one of the brakes. So, the brake switch is one and the regulatory valve is "downstream" along the pneumatic circuit.

In short, to apply differential brakes you need to use the key you mapped to the "brakes" command and then turn the rudders. If you have a rudder pedal set with toe brakes they will not work for the RAF fighters, you need to map a separate "brakes" command and use that in conjunction with pressing your rudder pedals just like you would in the air.

It's exactly the opposite in the Luftwaffe aircraft, you have two completely independent toe brake. Left brake - left turn, right brake - right turn, both brakes - normal braking with no turn. You can see this in action if you press the key for normal braking and move your camera to look at your pedals in the sim, you'll see that both toe brakes are being depressed.

But what about differential braking? Well, if you try to press the "brakes" key and apply rudder it will apply braking on both wheels and no differential braking will occur at all.

Since the real aircraft had separate toe brakes on the rudder pedals, you need to either use a similar function on your pedals (if you have any) or map two separate keys for "brakes left" and "brakes right" (if you use a twist-grip stick and you don't have pedals).

Long story short, all controls work in CoD the way they did in the real aircraft. If something is not working check to see what kind of system the real aircraft had. Chances are that in most cases if something is not working as expected, the reason is that it didn't work that way in the real aircraft.
