...why miss the opportunity?

I started out by running towards the small village where the Ural Ammos and the troop transport come to. I took out the two man patrol and shot the driver of an ammo truck. So it is now stalled in the middle of the town. The UAZ with about five guys in it suddenly comes into town. I go prone and target the driver. All the rest jump out. Take them out. I grab the AT launcher, and ambush the troop transport coming into town. Then I took out the M2 machine gun. The other ammo truck was now trying to escape, but he didn't get too far   . Now several soldiers are coming into the town. I hide in the house until they leave. I then load up with three satchel changes and run over to the woods overlooking a stationary BMP. Uh Oh, I see a Russian squad coming straight at me. I laid prone for awhile. I don't believe they didn't see me. I was only 30 meters away. Once they ran off I blew up the BMP, ran back to get another satchel and jumped into the BRDM. I drove over to the first fuel base. After taking out a few guys running around the edge, I alerted the entire base, so I ran off. Got into the BRDM again and drove like a mad man to the helicopter base. Almost ran into a startled T 80 on the way. Kept going. At the chopper base I waited in the bush until the patrol ran away. Then I crawled into the base and jumped into a chopper. The alarm rang and the BMP fired a shot at me. Didn't hit me though. I took off. The shilka fired a burst at point blank range, damaging me slightly. I then raked the base with rockets. I thought I destroyed the other chopper, but I must only have damaged it. The piolets were killed though. Flew back and blew up the shilka. Then I flew over to the two fuel bases and destroyed them. I am picking up hinds all over the place at this point, but can't figure out why I'm not being attacked by anything. I then flew back and destroyed the other chopper. I ejected 600 meters from the evac zone. The chopper crashed, and the mission was successful. But then I notice on the map that I'm now classified as CIVILIAN!!! I'm showing up as blue! How I don't know, but I am! The great thing about this is that nobody can attack me now! I "borrowed" the BMP off the squad near the evac zone and destroyed the T 80 at the small village plus several troops there. I then checked out all the bases shooting everybody and blowing everything up. Amazing! And nobody fires a shot at me the entire time! My score at the end was about 44 soldiers, 20+ machine gunners, about 4 tanks, two BMPs, one shilka, 15+ RPG guys, 12 officers, one hind (blew it up with an RPG) etc etc. My score was over 48000. Yeah! But why did I show up as a civilian after I jumped into the chopper?

BTW: It's really funny how "Eagle base" keeps telling you to give yourself up or face the consequences after you jump into a tank.  You are promised that you will not be warned again. Sounds interesting after you jump in and out about 15 times! Plus, has anybody got any hints on driving tanks on manuel fire when you have no gunner? It's terrible! You have to move the entire barrell manually.
