While it IS possible to stay stealthy, it's more difficult that it should be, since the environment does not influence AI perception. Loud noises don't cover you, be it from vehicles or from e.g. the sea surf. The grouped AI always knows that someone is missing. There are some things that are downright mechanical that should not be like that.
I still lurk but felt the need to comment on this.
Now keep in mind I have not actually tested this via knowsabout scripting commands and the like however I can say that on more than one occaision I have been able to very steathily move very close to AI without them spotting me and in some instances I can eliminate members of an AI group and have the other remain unaware.
Heck in one situation just testing things in the editor I was able to set up the following scenario:
I was playing a ghillie suited soldier lying in a forest as an AI squad of 8 men walked past in SAFE mode at a distance of no more than 10m. Once the last man passed I was able to eliminate him with a single shot of my silenced pistol.
In another scenario it was very early and foggy (this is in my CO-5 Cache Raid mission) and I was able to sneak up behind a two man patrol while wearing just standard AAF uniform and eliminate the rear man with one quick pistol headshot.
In both cases the remaining enemy were not aware of the death of their team mate.
