Both halves of the doublet will be rather equally hidden in the woods.
The bend would result in the halves of the doublet departing from
nominal collinearity by about 5°. The droop on either side of the
feedpoint would be the same as any other center supported doublet. The
center support is there to relieve the doublet of the need to support
the weight of the feedline.

A 75% drop in radiated signal is approximately one S-unit.
How many S-units difference do you think a 5° difference
will make?
