Gas station resets damage penalty in a story delevery mission

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Gas station resets damage penalty in a story delevery mission
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Week 1 Wensday night - Delevery mission with a MClaren P1. Damage the car and hit a gas station. The damage penalty resets
What happens when the bug occurs? The damage penalty got also reset along with the car damage. resetting the damage penalty in the mission
What do you expect to see? To no reset the mission damage penalty

So on week 1, wensday night. I got a delevery mission with the Mclaren P1 '13. the objective was to lose the cops and deliver the car undamged. After i lost the cops the first time, i was drving to the drop-off point. Came by a undiscover gas station. I drove trough it to (discover it), and mark it on the map. But i notiched that all damge I had taken from the pursuit has been repaired. And the damage penalty that was like halfway, also been reset. So i tested this real quick and wanted to started a other cop chase. I hit a few cops, slamed the wall a few times. And lost them. (Like any normale pursuit.) Now i only had about 20% car health remaining. Would have gotten the "bronze" reward (1.6K) for delivering it now. But i went through the gas station again before the drop-off point. And again it did reset damage penalty for the mission. So i deliverd it and got the full 5K reward.
Dont know if this is on purpose, but it feels like a "cheating" way to win the delivery mission.

    @needforspeed6410 I know that is the purpose of the gas station mechanic. And how they first worked in MW 2012.
    The problem i'm seeing here is: why creating a mission to deliver a car WITHOUT taking "much" damage, If you can NEGATE/RESTORE the damage anyway before drop-off? That destroys the purpose of the mission. Than you can better say to: "Lose the heat 4 cops and drop it off. (Cuz the damage doesn't mather, if you can repair it anyway)"
    Why not close the gas stations during this mission? So you really have to watch you durability.
    The only nfs game so far i have seen this work was is in NFS: Undercover (2008) When we didn't had the gas station mechanic yet, but DID had car durability during SOME missions.

    Hey, I believe this is as designed, as noted here, but we can add it as feedback, like you say it can make some content a bit too easy.

    Thanks

    @STREETRUNNER90 The thing is, you are risking getting into the pursuit again if you make a detour to a gas station. So its not unfair.

    Besides, there is a pretty high chance that you get the car damaged despite your best efforts.
