Yup, but I take that into account too. The only gamble I make is that they don't make a course change. Because that can happen at any time. If I can't intercept them before they moved 170 km, then I leave them be. (it's the distance at which your hydrophone range won't fit into the 22.5 degree contact course wedge anymore)
