#FS-20 ground turn radius improvement

Found an image of a F-35B turning fairly tight while taxiing.
I've watched the AI do carrier ops with these things. Half the time it just drives off the side of the carrier because it can't turn sharp enough to line up with the runway on takeoff.
literally goes to 90° on the B. the plane pivots around the inside wheel at max deflection like here
Funny I saw this post, this should apply to a lot of aircraft and especially naval aircraft, here's the ground taxi turn radius of the F-14 and F-8, of course they can turn 90 degrees when towed
Should definitely apply to the Ifrit and Compass then, and probably the Medusa, Tarantula, and even Cricket. Heck, it could also apply to the Chicane’s tail wheel.
