Rhombics perform better than what simulations and modeling show.

I can vouch for that. In 1961 I was stationed at Dharhan AFB, Saudi Arabia,
and operated many times from HZ1AB there -- at the time the only licensed
amateur radio station in Saudi not connected with the royal family.

We used a Collins exciter driving a heavily modified BC-610 to a terminated
rhombic aimed down the eastern seaboard of the US. We had no trouble
reaching the States (and hearing 1,000s of DX-ers wanting to talk to us).

OTOH, military links I took care of using KWS-1s into 6-element rotatable
"beams" didn't do as well.
