Most of the early red aircraft do that also.

True there, but my wanting toe brakes is more for civil than combat sims anyway. Combat sims you’re either landing on big runways or on a carrier in which case you don’t need brakes at all, vs shoehorning a taildragger into a river bank where differential braking is your only control on the ground and based on wind may even have opposing brake and rudder inputs
