== Description ==
The '''internal combustion engine''' (ICE) is used mainly for [[Combat Vehicle|conventional vehicle]]s and [[IndustrialMechs]]. Its power output is less than a [[fusion engine]] of similar mass, meaning an ICE needs to be heavier in order to have the same engine rating as a comparable fusion engine. In fact, it has the greatest weight-to-rating ratio of all the engines available. Internal combustion engines cannot power [[energy weapon]]s without [[power amplifier]]s, unlike fusion engines.

For all intents and purposes identical to a modern '''internal combustion engine''', the '''I.C.E.''' in [[BattleTech]] is used mainly for [[Combat Vehicle|conventional vehicle]]s and [[IndustrialMechs]]. Its power output is less than a [[fusion engine]] of similar mass, meaning an I.C.E. needs to be heavier in order to have the same engine rating of a fusion engine. In fact, it has the greatest weight-to-rating ratio of all the engines available in the [[TechManual]]. Internal combustion engines cannot power [[energy weapon]]s without power amplifiers, unlike fusion engines.
  
The saving grace of the ICE is its cost.  Since they are considerably cheaper and easier to manufacture than fusion engines, the internal combustion engine is used in the many conventional vehicles that tend to form the backbone of a planetary militia.

The ICE is generally more robust than the typical fusion & fission engines, and if shot at in a combat capacity whilst mounted in a 'Mech, the engine class—while damaged—will not contribute to overheat of the 'Mech where this damage was taken. However, this comes at the risk that the engine, or fuel powering said engine, can explode when hit.<ref>''Total Warfare'', p. 126, "Mech Critical Hits"</ref> A single strike to the engine of a common [[combat vehicle]] is usually enough to completely immobilize the unit, however.

Many internal combustion engines can use practically any combustible material as viable fuel. It is worth noting that, due to the nature of an ICE, they must be used in an environment with a suitable atmosphere, unlike a [[fuel cell]] or more expensive fusion or [[fission engine]].
