The inverted vee format does help at low heights. However, as overall height
is raised then best performance occurs when the wires are level. I think Jim
Briwn may have some data on this.

Tell us more, like the balun you’re using and location, feedline type, length
and height.
My yard is slopped, each end of my Zep is at different heights above ground. It
was a mediocre performer until I raised the feedpoint from 30ft to
approximately 45ft.
