Is there anywhere that shows AP penetration at various ranges for specific weapons?

WW2_Apcalc utility does that - and as with HEAT HE pen is unaffected by range as it is CE, not KE ammo.

Thanks, that's very useful. I notice there are two lines of each ammo type, e.g. AP and Best AP. What's "Best" entry represent?

Open the Game Guide and type APCalc into the text search utility of your browser and you will find the help on it.

You will find the entry for APCalc comes under the release notes for the version 4.0 upgrade patch at its bullet #20 in the Game Guide.

Read that bullet point and then the text file (WW2_APCalc_Help.txt) that's provided. Details of the programme's operation is in there.
