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 {{Pattern|Ru'swum|Phantom}} dropship. | 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.

In the ''[[Halo 3]]'' 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 AA Wraith|glitch]], the AA-Wraith is otherwise inoperable by the player. | |||

*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. | *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.

*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. | *If a player takes control of an AA Wraith in ''Halo 3'', it will not mitigate damage from incoming fire.
