|Performance=
===Pros===
{{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
* High firing accuracy
''Aurora'' is a protected cruiser armed with 14 152 mm guns in shielded single mounts. The ship can be compared to the American [[Ship:St. Louis|''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.
* Main battery mounts are located around the ship’s perimeter


Overall, ''Aurora'' is a workable ship for players looking for a low tier premium cruiser. However, its sluggish maneuverability and lackluster guns may be frustrating for some players.


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
===Cons===
* Large number of guns on each broadside.
* Low speed
* Large HP pool for her tier.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Slow speed and sluggish acceleration.
* AP ammo rarely effective.
* Practically absent anti-aircraft suite.
* High shell arc and slow shell velocity.
* No secondaries.
* Poor armor protection.
* Short main battery firing range of only 11.2 km.

''Aurora'' (Russian: Авро́ра, tr. Avrora; IPA: [ɐˈvrorə]) is a 1900 Russian protected cruiser, currently preserved as a museum ship in St. Petersburg. ''Aurora'' was one of three ''Pallada''-class cruisers, built in St. Petersburg for service in the Pacific Far East. All three ships of this class served during the Russo-Japanese War. Aurora survived the Battle of Tsushima and was interned under U.S. protection in the Philippines, eventually returned to the Baltic Fleet. The second ship, ''Pallada'', was sunk by the Japanese at Port Arthur in 1904. The third ship, [[Ship:Diana|''Diana'']], was interned in Saigon after the Battle of the Yellow Sea. One of the first incidents of the October Revolution in Russia took place on the cruiser ''Aurora''.
