== Introduction ==

The Type-52 Anti Aircraft Artillery is a variant of the [[Covenant]] "[[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]" tank, but it 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 "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 defense against "medium to close" range ground targets. It has also posed a threat to Pelicans. It should be noted that the plasma bolts fired by the AA-Wraith can explode mid-air, creating a cloud of plasma or some other glowing, gaseous substance. This resembles the clouds of shrapnel from flak guns' bursting rounds.

The triple sets of Fuel Rod Cannons are devastating to all forces, airborne or ground. 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 cannon can also be a threat to low flying Longsword fighter-bombers, even though they have heavier armor than the Pelican dropship.
