From what i understand, 3cm radar isnt very common, and only 1 or 2 types of planes have the possiblity of spawning with it.

I think it sticks in my mind because i was nailed while snorkeling in two consecutive patrols (while having said snorkel fixes in place) and had to turn home because the boat was too badly damaged.
