"beach head secure commander, hostile anti air has been neutralized!"
me in the anti air wraith: "Well, i wouldnt exactly say that"
You're probably the most underrated Halo youtuber out there! Great job as usual.
I'm pissed that Banshees can just avoid the shots. I know that makes it over powered, but I can't tell you how many times I've lost a warzone match cause half of the enemy team were in banshees and nobody could do anything about it. Rocket launchers, wart hog turrets, not even scorpions could do a lot because they'd get swarmed. The whole point of the AA wraith is combat those banshee swarm matches, now it's almost ineffective against banshees...
Forsaken Ace Spartan Laser ;v
Giovanni Andrés Ramírez Jaimes ....have you tried to splaser a swarm of banshee ultra? they dont even die in one shot, they can evade very easily and they'll wreck you by following, lets say, THE FUCKING TARGET BEAM wich reveal your position.
Forsaken Ace A trick that I learned is aim to the floor or a wall behind the enemy banshee, when the laser are ready, quick aim to the banshee, so you can reduce the time to reaction of the enemy ;v
Giovanni Andrés Ramírez Jaimes ....I'm shit at relocating the shot of a splaser mid-charge :(
Not Even Scorpions?
Then you aren't using Scorpions correctly.
I hope this answered most, if not all, of the questions and uncertainties about the Anti-Air Wraith. Essentially it is a modified version of the Sword Wraith. Do not underestimate this heavy vehicle as it is quite formidable in the right hands - just takes a little bit to get used to.
Anti-Air Wraith Tips:
Try to lead your shots because the fuel rod cannon is not hit scan. Be aggressive against Wasps! Also, put on the ‘Wheelman’ Armor Mod and try to get a teammate into that awesome Plasma Repeater Turret to get easy kills and help you eliminate ground forces. A good driver and gunner, both with Wheelman equipped (buffs damage resistance 2x, EMP recovery) will turn your Anti-Air Wraith into a domination machine.
There's additional data in the video description box. Until next time Spartans!
Aozolai thanks
Aozolai thanks I requested you did this kind of video on your Hannibal vs ONI wasp video and when I woke up I looked on my phone and it had a notification saying that you had posted it😄
do you consider the nornfang bit a glitch that should be fixed
Aozolai i didnt know AA wraith could lock on
+DiscoPrince906 Yes, it should be a 1 shot to take down the shield just like the Beam Rifle Delta and Binary Rifles
You know what this means right? 343 will most likely make Ultra and Temple Variants of the AA Wraith so the cannons will be much more powerful and have better tracking.
Yea, Temple and Ultra variants would be terrifying
Oh you know it. If the Ultra AA Wraith fires bombs similar to the Banshee Ultra Bombs and they have its level of tracking, then the Ultra AA Wraith could possibly be more OP than the Hannibal Scorpion.
Storm Bringer777 still no variant... :( feels bad man
That would be oh so amazing
Who remembers using the aa wraith in halo 3
thebreadman Using it? No. Killing it, yes
Me
TmanTheTdog you had to do a glitch to get in, its easy look it up, i've done hundreds of times its second nature now
Who remembers flying a phantom in halo reach?
I used it once
I loved the anti air wraith in Halo 3 and I'm glad they brought it back
Do you think the AA Wraith needs a buff? In my opinion I think it needs a boost to projectile speed and damage. What are your thoughts?
I agree with you that it needs a boost to projectile speed. Just by my own calculations if the fuel rods velocity was at 75 m/s (instead of the 52 m/s) it would absolutely obliterate air vehicles and ground forces without leading issues. However, I don't think it needs a damage boost because it's TTK is 0.75 s for the cannon and 0.86 s for the turret, and that is extremely good. If its damage would be increased then essentially you would make the AA Wraith better than the Temple or Ultra Wraiths. However, that's just my opinion.
Aozolai I think a red reticle range buff against air targets would be appropriate as well. the Hannibal Wasp can hit it instantly across map and take it out too easily.
Aozolai ok I agree with you on the projectile speed and the damage now. Love the work you put into your vids, keep it up!
Krysco51 Yeah, it's really only a wasp destroyer, it's like 343 added it only to get rid of the wasp spam after the update
TheDidactsHand I think it's perfect
just wanted to let you know that these videos are great and you do a wonderful job getting all of this information and such, they also help quite a bit.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it bud!
I think is a great design, it works awesome if you use it right, plus looks like it has the best turret of any kind, powerful with a shield for the gunner, this wraith could keep the skies clear no problem with a good gunner and driver, great video bro.
Exactly, and that plasma repeater turret cuts through enemies like they're butter + its amazing accuracy and shield protection, quite formidable
Nice to see the stats, AA wraith is actualy 1 of my top 5 vehicles if not 1
"The right Wrath in the wrong hands can make all the difference in the world, now wake up Mr. 117 smell the ashes" - Some weird guy with a suitcase
Didn’t expect AA to lose to regular wraith cause in Halo 3 when you did the glitch to get in them they were OP asf
Is it sad that I popped this bad boy out and literally melted an enemy player who just spawned in their helios
Yes. That was me.
@@lockhd_mrtn yea right
You deserve way more subscribers your vids are so helpful👍
Air Vehicles in Halo 5: Your pitiful tanks cannot harm Me, I am far too slippery, up here in the sky!
AA Wraith: That's where your wrong, kiddo.
Halo 3 AA wraith was so OP... ahhh the good ol days
Loving your uploads man! I've learned a lot from these analysis vids.
Ahhh, the AA Wraith... still my favourite tank since its debut in Halo 3.
1. I was so glad to see a drivable AA wraith!
2. The AA wraith looks 0.1% slower
wait wait, hold the god damned phone.
the twin jewels are actually useful, and effective against something. what alternate reality is this
In a pro's hands, any weapon can be good.
There also useful for mythic hunters
Ethan Lu Or you could like shoot twice with a regular binary
I only use this vehicle for Warzone Firefight because I get the most use of the fuel rod damage on AIs rather than Spartans because Spartans obviously will dodge more.
Sadly no variants ever came to be of this thing. Would've been nice.
To those who say it's useless against Banshees: Yes and no. With how small some maps with Banshees are, sometimes they just can't get away like in the ending clip. It may also be unexpected to get slapped by one. The AA Wraith versus Banshee clips in video was a controlled test. It may be different in other matches.
keep up the good work man. I love all the vids. And your intros get me pumped
thx, i wake up and see this video uploaded, couldbt be better
_“In the right hands, the Anti-Air Wraith can be very deadly.”_
In that case, Halo players must all be lefties.
Lefties?
i get this comment and its amazing
I mean the AA is supposed to rival hornets, falcons, pelicans, and other unsc aircraft not its own covy
covenant civil war would like a word
Wow great job 343 made it good against wasps and phaetons but not banshees of course
Patrick O'Sullivan the banshee in halo 5 is not the same as the banshee in halo 3
When covenant were designing it, do you think they were accounting more for the movement of UNSC aircraft, as opposed to their own? It's no doubt an oversight sight on their part, though could explain the lack of effectiveness vs Banshees.
At the same time though, Banshees (and I guess the Hannibal Wasp) might have been designed as viable aircraft to combat the AA Wraith.
Regardless of debatable lore explanations or game mechanics, the AA Wraith could benefit from having faster projectiles to better combat faster aircraft.
Can we all take a moment to just remember how good the Wraith looked in Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach
This is just sad
It looks great, but the art direction is not.
They should buff the shot speed and tracking accuracy against Banshees at least. It's garbage if you're not playing Firefight.
It's basically an infinite ammo, slightly weaker Fuel Rod cannon.
AA Wraith is really devastating in Firefight, you can beat all 5 round by your self easily with it :D

Time to break that
Nice video! Great job
"In the right hands the AA Wraith can be very deadly " Well in my hands , someone who has used the AA Wraith in SPV3 for months and has been practicing how to use it in Forge when it was released , I'd say it would be overkill for me , minus my noob I'm better with vehicles though
I never knew that the shots track and explode on proximity. I've always wondered how the hell this thing could be considered anti-air.
The description says it's a flak cannon
Good in firefight, bad in regular warzone
I Love the new intro Aozolai ;)
hey man thanks and greetings from Mexico.
Saludos!!!
Seems like the hannables natural partner. Covers its troubles with close air vehicles and with both of their top tier gunner turrets, boarding shouldnt be an issue if you got people to man em.
Awesome content
it looks like a fun vehicle
Halo 5 AA Wraith: Ok, not Bad.
Halo 3 AA Wraith: oh f*ck RUN!
I hope lore wise it travels way fucking faster than in game.
Is it just me or does Aozolai have the best opening of any youtuber?
"Swords of Sanghelios" should have Anti-Air wraith too. (and banished) And Anti-Air wraith should be ultra & temple too.
great video
The absolute bane of Wasps...
I'm pretty sure everything is the bane of Wasps.
Damn, that turret!
I remember when I had to glitch in order to pilot one of these things. Halo 3..
I was under the impression, nothing except high caliber rounds and plasma could penetrate Covenant Shields.
This is a video game
I don’t really like the AA wraith. It has a better turret which is really good but the main cannon isn’t really an upgrade, sure it’s better against multiple enemies but you shouldn’t put yourself in that Situation in the first place. Not to mention it has trouble hitting fast vehicles and one shooting Spartans. It also loses a lot of burst damage, so now you have to hit ghosts twice to kill them. The tracking is nice but the tracking range is too short and the velocity of the fuel rod is too slow to keep up with any of the air vehicles.
The AA Wraith should have always been a giant pair of needlers but oh well.
Ironically the AA wraith is really decent at attacking ground units(I learnt that in vehicle fiesta)
So, the AA Wraith can "lock-on" to certain vehicles? It looked like it was doing that?
I mean for the wraith, the showdown was unfair cause the AA wraith is only for air vehicles
Could you please add the link for halo waypoint so we can try out the map that you make your videos on.
Hm. I havnt played halo 5 in a while. I loved the mp I just havnt played
OP
Like it's fun to use for sure but that's about it
excellent video kinda sucks how they dont really counter the banshee but thats 343 logic
abraham m Thats's becuase banshees are weak to human bullets and precision weapons in particular location on the vehicle(straight up front and back). The banshee already has counters. You don't make weapons to fight your own tech. The AA wraith is surprisingly effective against banshees anyway, as he shows at the end.
Patrick O'Sullivan and you can already counter the banshees with the archlight or spartan laser (norfang is good to)
MrPronGogh93 a banshee ultra takes like 2-3 arclight shots or like 2 spartan lazer shots. And statistically there are more banshees then spartan lasers in the game because there are 4 banshees 2 rare and 2 ultra rare. Meanwhile there are only 3 spartan laser variants 1 rare 1 ultra rare and 1 legendary.
Patrick O'Sullivan the AA wraith has never been a usable vehicle unless you count the halo 3 glitch. So there should have been no reason for 343 to not make it counter banshees. Seriously think before you type.
Would you say that people who say the AA Wraith is useless are exaggerating it a bit? I mean, it could be stronger and maybe track banshees better but it seems to take out air vehicles very well. Either way, it's a beast in Firefight against everything. lol
MJOLNIR Productions I agree bruh the aa wraith can take on a grunt mech easily by itself
I would argue against them if they think the AA Wraith is useless. It's a level 5 REQ and can easily take down all Wasp variants and even standard and Sword Banshees (level 6) if used right. In addition if you get a teammate to hop in the plasma repeater turret then ground infantry will get dominated, even if you miss with the fuel rod cannons. Overall, it is actually a great vehicle in my opinion.
Did you make that intro?? It's nice 👍
I could of sworn that The AA Wraith's turret was a machine gun carbine not a plasma repeater
I'm just using the description of the Anti-Air Wraith, 343i calls it a "plasma repeater turret"
Oh god that’s what wraiths look like
did they remove this from Halo 5? I never see anyone use it.
Why'd you show us the aa wraith against the phaeton?
I hope they increase the damage
I'm guessing this is a req I've just never had it before
LordFamaz yep
I mostly see people use the anti air wraith for people on the ground not in the air
It's really funny when people complain "Why does the anti air wraith suck so much at taking down air vehicles?"
Because the only flyable air vehicles in the game are fast moving fighter jets, that are DESIGNED to be able to doge slow moving anti-air fire. See all those games were a small jet flies through a cloud of flak, without getting hit once? That's not dramatical effect, that's because it's complete luck if it does. Same with the shade turret. It gets RAILED by a banshee without it even being able to hit it once if the pilot's competent. The only time anti air would actually be useful if there was a slow moving, large ship you could fly in the game! But there isn't. So, a really useless vehicle unless it does decent damage to ground shit. I don't know that.
You didn't test against phaetons
Song in the intro?
Song name for intro???
They pew pew the sky
You do realize that distance doesn’t affect shots to kill
Well the amount of damage doesn't change, but because the target is moving and most of the damage shown in that segment is splash damage yes it takes more shots to kill a target at distance
If you were able to buff any aspect(S) of the AA Wraith what would you pick ?
Xander 'The Wolf' projectile velocity and more time before overheating
Gabriel Brunet I think the projectile velocity is the biggest downfall to the AA Wraith, I very much agree.
I agree, if the fuel rod velocity is buffed to 75 m/s (from its 52 m/s) it becomes a killing machine - land and air targets. Though, this is my own theory/calculation from doing additional tests on it. However, just remember that this is a level 5 REQ modded Sword Wraith and it shouldn't be buffed to where it is better than the higher REQ Temple and Ultra Wraiths.
Aozolai I appreciate you taking the time to respond and even though I'll sound like a broken record. Buffing the velocity seems like the best buff, wouldn't wanna tweak it's damage because then it becomes an Anti Everything vehicle. On a related note, what do you think about tweaking the banshees to have their rolls etc tied to the boost meter ? It's likely too late to do it in H5 but maybe cool as an addition to H6.
Xander 'The Wolf' it would be great ! The banshee would require more skill to fly 343 could also had a cooldown because right now banshees look like a crazy veihcule doing random manoeuvers
Intro song?
It's just a music segment I used for the intro, sorry bud
Can you do a video on controller aim assist and mouse aim assist?
Did anyone want to drive this aa in halo 3
1:47 how did you zoom in again?
I think it depends on what control scheme you're using, but it zooms in a second time with some weapons when you press the zoom button a second time.
+GamerSon 98 Click the right thumbstick, all sniper rifles and the sentinel scope can zoom in a second time
Aozolai you mean left stick not right
Left stick is what you use to move around, which is sprint by default if you click it in.
Mark VI Productions right stick toggle means crouch. Left stick toggle (not sprinting) for snipers means zoom in
IT looks like AA gun tank from halo 3
Well, that's because it is.
It is similar. The Halo 3 version looks quite different and has different functionality compared to the Halo 5 version. The uploader should have compared the two in this video or another video.
I do not like the look of the wraiths one bit
I don't like your intro. It's seems like it would be on a football or sport channel and once I clicked on one of your videos, saw the intro and thought it was a sport add or a vid I didn't click. Also why do you use the England sport team badge or something that looks extremely similar to it. Still I like your videos. Keep up the good work
Who else is watching this in 2018
CartopStorm 3125 ME!
CartopStorm 3125 me
TH-cam's fucken adds
Is there a section on the internet where this ear rape wubstep shit is being pumped out to amateur youtubers?
I really don't like the new wraith look.
cypressgold it looks like a yabby
god the ''new'' wraith look bad, its a complete desaster
This tank is pretty damn useless. Anti-air my ass. Any moderately skilled player in an aerial vehicle and destroy it. Super week. Should have been buffed forever ago with longer range, faster projectile velocity, and a slightly longer time to overheat.
Damn that thing is ugly
Still pathetic against air
God damn your intro is to long it’s like 15 seconds.
The Art Design of wraith look shit, nothing like halo
