Do APFSDS shells bounce?

In game, APFSDS still bounces. Just like a normal AP slug or APHE shell. Even though it has a much much lower chance of doing it, it still can and will (you can try it right now by going into test drive and trying to shot trap the T10M there, its doable.)

Which country invented APFSDS?

The Soviet Union
The Soviet Union was actually the first to adopt APFSDS technology; they fielded the 115mm 2A20 smoothbore gun on the T-62 to make use of APFSDS rounds for increased penetration. The Soviet excellence in the field continued with the larger 125mm gun, with the Soviets developing advanced rounds.

When were APFSDS invented?
