The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery, often referred to as the Anti-Air Wraith[1] or abbreviated as the Type-52 AAA, is a specialized variant of the Type-25 Wraith tank.
Introduction
The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery is a variant of the mainstream Covenant "Wraith" tank, but differs in its primary armament: while the standard Type-25 model is equipped with a Plasma Mortar which is mainly against slow-moving ground targets, the Type-52 model is equipped with a "rapid fire" dual Fuel Rod Gun-based[2] flak cannon[3] as its main armament, and has high effectiveness against nearby air targets and also ground targets. The Type-52 shares the Type-25's secondary plasma turret, a non-detachable stationary turret emplacement fixed at the midsection of the vehicle that is optionally manned for point defense against "medium to close" range ground targets.
The Type-52 is also distinguished from the Type-25 by its red-bronze color scheme instead of the standard Wraith's purple armor color.
Appearances
It is near identical to the original Wraith tank in appearance, par its top canopy and mortar. Instead of a mortar it mounts a frame that seems to hold either two plasma cannons or Fuel Rod Guns that fire a series of slow moving green plasma blobs in a rapid succession. It appears to be an anti aircraft variant for assault the many UNSC Hornets in the area where it was first seen.
