Not exactly. You can use high grass to avoid detection; they aren't superhuman at that point. The problem is when you get spotted: the AI can continue to track you for a moment, leading to situations where they shoot you accurately despite not being able to see you (or anything really). An AI soldier dropping down into high grass can still accurately fire on you despite not being able to see, at least for about a second or so. Same with vehicles: they might be moving along trees, spot you through a gap and then shoot you a second later when their sight is actually obstructed.

Hott stating patrols walked close past him shows that it helps avoid detection, but indeed if spotted it's only a hindrance to you. There have been a few occasions where we blew the radio tower with satchels by crawling there through high grass, especially at night.
