APCBC HE filler
I have noticed that there are two types of APCBC in the game, with HE filler and without HE filler.

I find it incorrect and the one with HE filler is supposed to be called APHEBC not APCBC. Right?

No. APCBC means its an AP shell with both a soft cap and ballistic cap. APHEBC is an AP shell lacking a soft cap, containing an explosive filler, but has a ballistic cap. The Soviets were just about the only ones that did not soft cap their AP shells durring the war (they only started doing so with 100mm rounds).

APCBC does not denote filler and WT does not make any mention of it besides the picture and stat card. APCBC with a filler really should be APCBC-HE-T (or APCBC-T-HE). APHEBC would already denote the filler but could still be different such as APBC-HE-T (or APBC-T-HE).

APCBC also comes without explosive filler (as mentioned above) in shells like the British 17 pounder Shot Mk.8 or French SA47 100mm Obus de rupture.

I still find the name kinda silly "obus de rupture" yeah you got that right french naming system, it sure does rupture XD
I've seen "rupture" in a number of areas, from naval to the idea of APDS. I think "rupture" does not refer to a shell detonating after penetration, but rupturing (penetrating) armor. A good example being the Projectile de rupture Brandt de 75mm, which looks very similar to what APDS would become and the patent was transfered to Britian in 1940 in which the Brits would develope further and end up with APDS.

Though take it with a grain of salt because I failed French in high school and info on French ammo is not very common.
