The IC is very different, compared to the TFC version. The IC projectile is no longer a self-propelled rocket that ignores gravity.  Instead, the cannon is now a proper cannon in the traditional sense of the word. The projectile is now an unguided, dense lump of flame which is subject to the forces of gravity.  The weapon also provides a kick due to the reactionary force of shooting the projectile.

The IC is primarily a medium-range weapon; it's arc prevents it from being used as an effective long-range weapon with any sort of accuracy. The weapon's splash damage will set an enemy on fire, so don't worry if you don't directly hit your target.
  
The values for the speed / range of the IC are just guesses for the moment.  The two will obviously be linked, and having some kind of realistic feeling gravitational force is necessary.  If one is totally wrong, then the other cannot be correct, either.  I.e. it may well just be a case of experimenting with values and seeing how it feels.

==Range==
 
* Unlike the TFC version, the IC projectile is NOT propelled.  For maximum range, the optimum firing angle will be 45 degrees.  At 45 degrees and on flat ground (i.e. shot lands at same elevation as the firing player) the IC can shoot a projectile that travels roughly 2048 units.  Experiment with the gravity to achieve this.

* Once hit by the IC, the enemy is classed as being [[Status:On Fire|On Fire]]. 
 
* Penetrates (very) thin walls and floors.  Very thin is defined by 8 units or less.
 
* Can be used to perform a small IC Jump, moreso in conjunction with other weapons.
 
* Has a kick.  This kick will make the pyro slide in the opposite direction of the shot's trajectory.  This can aid players when IC jumping and makes the weapon more gratifying to use.
 
* When in motion, the IC projectile drops flame particles.  The flame particles are less dense and affected by the environment more, so they just drop off the main projectile while taking on a similar velocity (with a slightly lower magnitude).  The particles retard more quickly and then float to the ground.
 
* The particles, if touching a player, do a nominal amount of damage.  It's more for a nice effect than anything else.

A highly modified RPG that fires flaming skulls that travel in an arc.

Details

The rockets shot from this weapon obey the laws of physics, meaning that they'll travel downward once fired.

Special Abilities

Can set an enemy On Fire.

Strategy And Tips

The IC is primarily a medium-range weapon; it's arc prevents it from being used as an effective long-range weapon with any sort of accuracy. The weapon's splash damage will set an enemy on fire, so don't worry if you don't directly hit your target.

The IC, like it's big brother the RPG, can be used to make long jumps. Simply fire the weapon downward while jumping. You'll fly up, but because the Pyro is flame-retardant, he will not be set on fire. While you won't fly as far as a rocket jump would, you'll suffer less damage than you would from a rocket jump.
