Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith: Difference between revisions

Great. So, Ground Command says they're a plasma weapon, while The Essential Visual Guide says they are fuel rod cannons. Does this mean the fuel rods fired by AA Wraiths use plasma in some way?
(Not really sure if "plasma flak cannon" equals "fuel rod cannon" or not)

Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery was first encountered late in the [[Human-Covenant War]] and saw widespread deployment by the Covenant in the occupied [[Inner Colonies|Inner Colony worlds]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. Though ONI analysts presumed the vehicle was a dedicated air defense vehicle, the Covenant often deployed AA Wraiths as a direct assault vehicle against UNSC forces in urban areas.
