Yes the individual planesmen could control the angle of the planes they were stationed at. In Das Boot you can hear the LI giving minute instructions, such as "Bow down ten, stern up five". On the other hand, the captain's actual involvement usually stopped at "Take us down - fast!", or "Periscope depth." He didn't have time to tell each planesmen what to do every moment.
