Angled landing gear

[qzgy]

Ksp landing gear need to be fixed in a number of areas. One of my main gripes/problems is the fact that for the wheel model to look right against the ground, the entire part also has to be. This either means wing mounting the landing gear or having your flying machine on landings be like as unstable as a standing up pencil, assuming you are working with mk1 parts and have your landing gear in the fuselage. IRL, planes can have landing gear that can extend also outwards from the craft to some degree increasing landing stability.

Examples

See how the landing rear landing gear sticks out to the side a bit.

Also here. Normally the landing gear are in that recess, just behind the gray thing.

I know already that you can just angle the landing gear, but this seems to be an imperfect solution. Why not make landing gear that can be retracted and act in a similar manner to the ones above, also moving to the side? This would certainly help in making smaller craft more stable upon landing and takeoff, and who knows, may have other uses (Stock elevator/piston kinda thing, perhaps?)

 

Before anyone mentions mods, yes, I know mods for these exist.

After there are exactly as many KSP landing legs as wheels, they could look into this.

With Adjustable Landing Gear, (now it's included in the Kerbal Foundries Mod) you are able to angle you wheel outside the base, So the wheelstrut itself is not angled, but the whole wheel is angled. 

But that's not what you meant isn't it?

See disclaimer at the end of the post. No, I think having these kinds of landing gear (ones that can be angled) would be a great addition to the stock game.

Oh sorry, I think a read it al to quickly

But you're right, it makes setting up the landing gear, which is kinda buggy in Stock, a lot easier. I never use the stock landing gear anymore.
