Ok, I tried it in Arma 3, I blew up a tank with a Mine, my knowsabout level is now 1.5 because I killed something. I hid behind some lower dirt but I can see over it and the tank did not see me instantly. I guess I'll drop the knowsabout level for detection on that end unless you're at a certain radius of it I guess. Quick question, how close were we to the convoy on that sander mission by the bush. I assume that bushes in Arma and concealment aren't very good, I guess I was behind a house or to the side of it so that gives me cover or something. I'll assume, AI sees through bush then, but not buildings unless they clip through it.
Not sure if I should post my stealth findings or assumptions in Arma 3 yet, I tested it with Arma 2 at first.
I tried in Arma 2, doesn't matter pistol or rifle if you fire an unsupress weapon in the sky, your knowsabout goes to 1.35 . Suppress and your knowsabout stay safe unless your bullet hit near the target and they get alerted, which will then make your knowsabout 0.1 because your weapon was suppressed (unless you hit the guy with your bullet, your knowsabout is now 1.5 <which is why stealth kills doesn't work>).
