Good ol 188. Well, not so good now that the NCR are shooting everyone on sight. But seeing the overpass gives me comfort. I'm making good progress. Crossing my fingers and toes.

If you don't like the homing missile tunnelers then install this mod. Effectively reduces detection range.

There's some other bugfix mods and tweaks you can find that might make your experience better. Also general damage mods for NV if you really don't like the combat.

In DUST, without extra mods, tunnelers are almost omniscient and will start running towards you before you can see them lol. It makes some of the starting points incredibly hard because you're stuck in areas close to large groups of them. The idea is kinda cool because of how scary it makes them in the early/mid game but it does feel unfair.
