I'm sure pirates knew the answer. Probably fighter pilots as well.

My experience in eve online says that the faster ship can always maneuver close enough to do damage. Maybe you over shoot it, but if you know the direction of the more agile ship you can course correct more frequently to make an approach.

Probably depends also on the range of your weapons. The faster ship might not be able to ram the more nimble ship but could get close enough to launch a missile.
