*It seemed that [[Bungie]] originally considered making the AA Wraith a drivable vehicle, since when the player takes control of it and then jump out of the Wraith, it features its own weapon retraction animation, much like the normal Wraith. The way Bungie rendered it nearly undrivable is likely due to the fact of dominating firepower. Hints also include that it also contains its own special aiming reticule. Similarly, there is no targeting reticule for the AA Wraith's gunner turret.

*If a player takes control of an AA Wraith in ''Halo 3'', it will not mitigate damage from incoming fire. This makes the player a substantially easier target.

*The Anti Air Wraith controlled by the player is not as effective at destroying aircraft as one that is operated by an AI, because the AI is more efficient at targeting and leading; as such, it will know where the aircraft (sometimes even if controlled by the player, although the AI will most likely not hit the player) will move based on current readings (sudden course changes notwithstanding).
*A shot from a Fuel Rod Gun is more powerful than a single shot from a cannon on the Anti Air Wraith. This is probably because of the faster rate of fire and infinite ammo the Anti-Air Wraith has, making it overpowered otherwise.

*The AA Wraith was added to ''Halo 3'' Forge in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' on July 14, 2020, but with its dead-man switch removed and the gunner given a crosshair similar to that on the Type-26 Wraith. The AA Wraith was also added to ''Halo 3: ODST'' Firefight in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' on September 22, 2020.
