Not really. 

There is very little pattern difference between a purely horizontal dipole and 
an inverted V provided that the angle of the V is not too acute. A horizontal 
dipole 5/8 wavelength high has predominantly low angle  radiation.

W4RNL is sadly an SK. However, he designed and described a great many antenna 
systems one of which is a half wave vertical array for 160m. I have one. Here.
