AI Planes Ruin Stealth
Title says it basically. Be it enemy planes due to being marked or allied planes after clearing an area. In addition to enemy planes spotting you sometimes from 500 feet away through some miracle, the fact that they circle you and attack any resistance member or aircraft immediately alerts nearby enemies. Now this problem isn't terrible out in the world, randomly doing things. But trying to clear an outpost, only for a plane to spawn in out of thin air, take a pot shot at a random resistance member in a jeep, and have the entire outpost suddenly start screaming and sprint around the outpost with no real logical pattern, only for them to now be on high alert is obnoxious.
But what if you clear a region? Well... then you get allied planes spawning in over your head every 30 seconds. And they see the cultists in the outpost and come flying in and antagonizing them with strafing runs... which basically results in the same thing, though a few might actually die if you're lucky. But either way, none of this is good for stealth, and clearing outposts stealthfully and creatively is 90% of my enjoyment in this game.
TL;DR- Planes aggro people in outposts and screw up stealth attempts consistently.
