The [[Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery]] is a variant of the [[Covenant]] "[[Wraith]]" tank, but differs in its primary armament: while the standard Type-25 model is equipped with a [[Plasma Mortar]] which is used mainly against slow-moving ground targets, the Type-52 model is equipped with a "rapid fire" dual [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s 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 triple sets of [[fuel rod cannons]] are devastating to all forces, airborne or otherwise. Dozens of shots can be put out in rapid succession, laying waste to enemy emplacements, leveling fortified bunkers in a matter of seconds. 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-25 by its red crimson color scheme instead of the standard Wraith's blue-purple armor color. Upon the driver's exiting the anti-air wraith, it's triple 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 [[Phantom]] dropship.
