The double sets of fuel rod cannons fire Class-3 fuel rods, which have the capability to track vehicles' heat signatures.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 99''</ref> They are devastating to both airborne and ground forces. Dozens of shots can be put out in rapid succession, laying waste to enemy emplacements, leveling fortified bunkers in a matter of seconds, and removing an enemy aerial presence. The cannon can also be a threat to low flying Longsword fighter-bombers, even though they have heavier armor than the Pelican dropship. Luckily, however, the Anti-Air Wraith seems to be used almost exclusively for destroying and harassing air vehicles and use against ground targets is very rare.

The Type-52 is also distinguished from the Type-26 by its red crimson color scheme instead of the standard Wraith's blue-purple armor color. Upon the driver's exiting the AA Wraith, its double flak cannons fold inward and contract into the body of the tank, presumably to keep them protected from enemy gunfire or saboteurs and possibly to allow more compact storage. It might even be necessary in order to travel at high speeds or be air-lifted by a [[Type-52 Phantom]] dropship.

In the Campaign, like the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] and [[Energy Sword]] of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', it has a dead man switch, causing the vehicle to self-destruct when the driver dies or exits. Except for a [[Drive an Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|glitch]], the AA-Wraith is otherwise inoperable by the player.
