Performance
Aurora is a protected cruiser armed with 14 152 mm guns in shielded single mounts. The ship can be compared to the American St. Louis as both ships have similar layouts. However, Aurora suffers from having worse armor and fewer hit points than St. Louis. Furthermore, the top speed of 19 knots makes Aurora one of the slower ships in her tier. Aurora is able to present a broadside of 8 guns at a time to the enemy with a range of 11.2 km. However, it should be noted that the shell arcs for this ship can be rather high.
