Is this a bug or is this intended?

It probably is intended to punish if you put it too far forward without being able to protect it, but god knows why we even have a stop button then (or why there is no warning on the tooltip). Not very beginner-friendly.

Im sure its a bug, coz sometimes u get a refund other times u don't. The fact you have to wait for the next truck is enough punishment imo.

It's intended. It is supposed to punish players for attempting to set them up in contested territory and reward allies for intercepting and stopping your set up. Devs have said so themselves during alpha test.

In my experience it has to do with the amount of time the truck has been setting up. The earlier you cancel the setup the more resources are returned.

A really bad consequenz of this "mechanic" is that if you order your truck to set up, and then reinforce while he is driving, the truck stopps setting up because it doesn't use the ressources as soon as you order it to set up.

Well, if they want to punish you for overly aggressive truck placement (no refunds), why is there a cancel button anyway? If I don't get my money back on cancelation, I might as well let the enemy destroy it.

They should either refund when you cancel or remove the button, because it is misleading the way it is now.

Probably just the way all constructing buildings work. Yeah it's pretty useless, but maybe the player really doesn't want to finish building for some odd reason like blocking an exit, in that case I guess it's good the option is there.

But you have to wait for a new truck, so it makes no sense.

It's frustratic how fragile the truck is while it's seting up.

Having a cancel button is useless because as you say you get no resources refunded. I think what they should do is that if you decide to cancel it the truck becomes mobile again giving you a chance to get away.

I can confirm with a replay that you do indeed get resources back at a % correlating to how far along the truck is deployed.

Flak truck cost 80 fuel to place, when cancelled at about 25% the player received 60 fuel back into his resource pool.

So it seems if you are going to lose the truck due to an assault then cancelling it especially at low % completion of deployment will net you back some resources.
