The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Designed by Bell Telephone Laboratories and manufactured by Western Electric, it became one of the most widely produced Allied airborne radars of the war, with over 13,600 units delivered by July 1945.
- In the British Royal Air Force, it was known as ASV Mark IX, while in the Swedish Air Force it was called the PS-18/A.
- The APS-4's use of X-band frequencies at 3 cm wavelength, rather than the 10 cm S-band common to earlier radars, allowed it to be greatly reduced in size.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The AN/APS-4 search radar article was read about 3,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
