Fighters have very good agility while heavy fighters have very good air attack.

What is the difference between interception and air superiority?

Interception try to destroy bombers while avoiding enemy fighters while air superiority will target all enemy aircrafts.

The Luftwaffe is too powerful and can destroy the polish air forces in one week only I think.
It is not so simple.

What is the difference between interception and air superiority?

I would say interception is more defensive, killing incoming enemy planes (mostly bombers). That could be achieved, for exemple with fighters taking off only with radar warnings.

Air superiority is being the master of the skies over a region, so all your other planes can achieve their missions with a low risk. The best way is by always having fighters in the sky making sweeps over the region, costing more fuel and more hours of flight (more demanding to the equipment and pilots).
