Works in real life. An optically guided ATGM will not set off radar warning systems and the missile will be a hard hit detonation.
AA missiles are often designed to detonate just before the target and rain a shrapnel cloud on the target.

Btw, wasn't there a helicopter in Syria (forgot the type) that got shot down by a TOW?

Yeah, I tend to find ATGMs far more reliable for damaging/destorying AI controlled helos then any other weapon.
