Exactly, this is what a lot people need to realize
If you get beaten up by fighter in a bomber, it just shows the bomber is how it should be, if you win, something is wrong (either the bomber, or the guy was too stupid to evade SNs :P)
I never saw Orchid or even fought it, but from the comparsion pic the size seems okay to me. I would need to see it in fight to decide on my opinion though.
Frankly, when I see some other bombers there, I'm about to facepalm because they are tiny.
Snubnose/Bergelmir is really small, and some others too, FA bomber, Kusari bomber, BHG bomber, they are all quite small from the front, the Ku bomber and BHG one are huge from the sides however (But I fly the BHG bomber, and its just all-round ship if properly flown)
Look at these ones, not at the big ones, those are okay. Only proper bombers in the game are Fafnir and Barghest and Waran and maybe the Recycler, in my opinion. (for example, 2 Barghests get easily beaten by one Templar, true story - the way it should be)
