Those big things under the wings...what ARE they?

Well, this IS a craft. Look, his exaust, the propeller witch is the
perfect propeller even for today standarts, Tremendus M Pressure
with Small Prop Diameter. The perfect Prop Wings.
Did i say wings?
Can you imagine how this thing turns ? maby not so fast low,
but how it turns ? 1 30mm, 2 20mm.
I always believe that TA is wrong modeled in low flying at AH.
This plane with these wings had to beat down every Alied fighter
in low (under 20k alt) turns (even griffon spits).

Reschke(TA-152) and Mitchell(Tempest) in mortal combat...
>>>>Pulling ever-tighter turns I got closer and closer to the Tempest, never once feeling I was even approaching the limit of the Ta's capabilities. And in order to keep out of my sights the Tempest pilot was being forced to take increasingly dangerous evasive action. When he flicked over onto the opposite wing I knew his last attempt to turn inside me had failed. <<<<

That's a Bv155.

Blohm & Voss BV 155 V2, derived from the Me P1091 hi alt interceptor design.

The BV 155-B was a 12000lb hi alt interceptor engined with the DB 603U.

The "big things under the wings" are air intakes:

First flight took place early on September 1944, powered by a DB 603A with a TKL-15 turbocharger instead of the DB 603U. The plane reached 52500 feet by April 1945, later all the prototypes were captured by brits, one of them in flying condition. This one was crash-landed by a british test pilot in the first test flight.

Turbocharger scoops? Jeeze, for a second there I thought I was looking at a Ta-152 with helper jets.
