Considering that the rules are almost identical to the koptaz' Big Bomm, and that does get a reduced scatter, the bitza bomma won't either.

I do agree on it being fairly reliable at taking out at least one vehicle per game. That's about the expected lifespan of any other melta-squad in other armies, so that's a big step forward from being forced to punch a Leman Russ/Predator sitting in a corner of the board.

But the Big Bomb doesn't roll 2D6 for penetration right?

Right, but I was referring to dropping ork bombs and them scattering in general. You drop them during your movement phase and they scatter d6 instead of 2d6, but you don't get to reduce scatter, as per the Ork FAQ.

That was me, here:
