A nearby plane might tip them off too. They can see MUCH farther then your average unit. Of course if a plan did tip them off, youd have bombs incoming very shortly.

I do know for certain that Silent running within that range makes ALL the difference. If you reload a game, Silent running isnt enabled even though the icon will say it is. You have to toggle it off and on to fix (stock bug from sh3).
