Did I say all over? you look at the pictures at the start of the thread you can see that it cover's all the whole hull apart from the engine bay and the rear. And yes that stuff is RPG proof. look at Pvte beharry's Actions in a warrior that got him a VC. Also soem freinds jsut back from IRaq confirm that hte chobahm is totaly RPG proof(Of course if it hits any where else then it's going to rip stright through).
WR is survivable, so with am ax HEat pen from an RPG-7V being about 50 a Heat AV of 35-40 is about right, just like you said.

Perhaps less use of absolutes are in order? Never say never and all that, it brings bad luck.
PG-7V Pen shouldn't be higher than about 26-32 (sources I have vary between ~260mm RHA and ~320mm RHA), the PG-7V
R is between ~500-600mm RHA. Sometimes I really wonder who makes some of the OOB decisions... in the Russian obat the 1978 "RPG-7V" gets a pen of 60 (I assume that "RPG-7V" refers to an RPG firing a PG-7V warhead, at least the dates support this somewhat, the VR not being available in 1978 and all...).
Now, at first I assumed that you were writing about the standard armour of the Warrior, but I now understand that its the add-on appliques you're referring to, right?
Then I'd agree that they are probably reliably resistant to PG-7/PG-7V warheads, probably even against somewhat greater threats than these.
