No, but BdU did at times, though not as often as they wished since Doenitz/Goering hated each other and the Condor crews were never very good at the job.
Sometimes a game/mod function can be used to represent something that occurred in reality, but isn't in the game. So the function is meant to represent something vs a literal interpretation.
I tend to think this function fits well into that catagory vs. representing the act of a u-boat commander doing it.

You are right even though it would be nice to have it limited a bit. Dönitz touched that topic really nicely in his memoirs. There were a few instances of Condors and Uboats operating together but the position call outs of the Condors often proved to be unreliable as you already stated.
