Knowing how hard planesmen work to hold PD, I would have to say no. Just going to the ships control panel where you can see plane angles shows that they are pretty much static. They show plane angle change to get to the depth and then don't move much till you change depth later.
In RL, the planes are moving to compensate for the change in surface suction. They are doing small and sometimes LARGE angle changes. It is stressful for the boat handling crew to maintain PD in anything other than light seas.
The suction dynamic varies with sea state above you, the currents around you, and the dynamics of the hull in this constantly changing enviroment.
To honest, to simulate this would require HUGE amount of compuational power. We are talking fluid dynamics here. I would just say that the planesmen are competent in this aspect of ship handling and not worry about it.
