I had worked on a tactic in GZ of blowing things up as a distraction and here in the full game it's even better. For example, set up the power supply to blow and when you need a distraction you set off the C4 and cause total mayhem. As long as you have the guards marked you can keep track of them even in their alert mode and it still counts as stealth for you as far as ratings go.
I did a similar thing, but what I did was I planted C4 throughout a compound. I put C4 on the radio base station, the power station, a big truck that usually had three troops around it, and an area where guards tended to congregate that also had some explosive barrels around it. What I did was, once I had all of my explosives planted, I switched off the power manually and then jumped out a window and ran up into a nearby hill to hide. Once I saw the power come back on (Indicating at least one guard was at the switch), I triggered all of my C4 one after another and blew everything to bits. Immediately afterwards, I jumped on my waiting helo extract and was out of there. (It turned out that during the time I was setting all of this up, the guys jumped in the truck and took off...so they all died quite a ways away from the base I was at.)
I definitely didn't have to go through all that in order to complete the mission, but damn it was fun.
