Yes that is correct, but you said that I was wrong I'm not. But It's more effective doing what you call "intercept", but I trying to point out is that I don't believe that is what you are doing because it would be near impossible managing that in the space in 3D with a target that can change cource. So I would say that in most cases you are just moving in the general direction of the target and that would put you closer to the target if the target is not moving stright from you. But as soon as the target is stright ahead and moving stright ahead you will not case up any more. Same principle as your "interception".
I was wrong when I said you would not make any gains using this method.
You are right to a certain point, you would realize more gains in the beginning of the intercept but would taper off quickly. Your intercept flight path would curve into the targets flight path. This I believe would produce inefficient results when compared to a straight intercept flight path as illustrated earlier.
When you need every inch you can get just to bring your guns in range of your target I believe flying straight at your target will fall short most of the time.
