An Anti-Air Wraith fires on a Hornet.

The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery, often referred to as the Anti-Air Wraith 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 flak cannon 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

The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery saw widespread deployment by the Covenant Loyalists in the occupied Inner Colony worlds of the United Nations Space Command.

Multiple Type-52 vehicles were deployed in the African city of Voi during the Loyalist occupation of Voi in the Second Battle of Earth, although all were eventually destroyed in the UNSC counterattack or the Flood invasion of Voi. At least two were deployed against the UNSC Hornet threat when the Loyalists secured the Forerunner facility known as the Ark in extragalactic space.
