February 2025 (MegaMek/megamek) performance summary: AX warhead damage type integration was delivered with armor interaction rules across SRMAXHandler and TWGameManager, including safeguards to prevent double-damage on hardened and ballistic reinforced armor. Critical damage calculation bug fixes were implemented to correct DamageType assignment in SRMAXHandler. Laser Inhibiting Smoke behavior was aligned with TacOps rules by targeting Laser weapons instead of Energy. New hazardous-liquid-pool maps were added: Caustic Valley and Shrapnel Issue 13 variants, expanding gameplay variety. These changes improve damage modeling accuracy, rule consistency, and map diversity while reducing risk of imbalance and supporting future AX content. Technologies demonstrated include cross-module damage calculation, rule-based damage modeling, and TacOps-compliant map design and validation.
