You can't really expect to hit much with guns when going at 12 km/s. Maybe you should be removing some of your speed mods.
Actually, you can. In fact, I'd dare to argue, that you can do theoretically do damage with guns at 100 000km/s.
There are two reasons for this, which I am aware of.
1. The bugged 1% wrecking hit :)
2. The fact that your velocity on it's own without a point of comparison is not enough to make any decisions about the ability to track. Example: If there is an inty going exactly 100 000 km/s after you while you are going 100 000km/s forward, your transversal is 0 and you can hit.
The latter is what happens in speedinty fights. Crows usually try to orbit, ranged intys try to push away or push towards their target (if it doesn't have web) to make it run in a straight line, so they can track.

You will only move about 4km a second, but think of it in these terms: other ceptors that move very fast CANNOT tank their scram and MWD, due to speed mods in the lows.
My crow has two speedmods in lows, goes over 13k/s out of gang and can permarun it's MWD and scram indefinitely.
Get better skills?

So eventually they will have to either stop scramming (and let you escape) or stop moving, letting you catch them.
Nope, you die way faster than that ever happens, and if they don't warp when that happens, then they're just stupid.

People love there snaked out speed junkie crow's, but in real fights they dont work - the capacitor on them sucks
Clearly you have never flown one, their cap is fine and they don't need any for their weapons.

and they can't hit anything moving more than 3.5-4km/s
This is why crows are overrated :)

- so teh crusader will always win against a crow... ask ANY experienced (and i mean experienced, not just rich) interceptor pilot.
It will, but not with your setup. Basically both intys need to throw about the same amount of isk on the ceptor, and about same player/sp skills for the sader to win.
If the sader has cheap setup (going below 5km/s) crow will win every time.
Remember, sader is /naturally/ faster than a crow. So given similar (T2+) setups, it will always dictate range and be unhittable by the crow (unless crow fits specific fitting with rockets/web ofc).

P.s.
Watch out for competant stiletto pilots - after i'd been flying ceptors for a while i learned a few things - and that same ceptor has been alive for 4 months, and hasn't lost a single ceptor on ceptor fight.
Before ECM nerf patch maybe (used to fly around jamming stiletto of doom back then...) Not enough cap to really run web + 2 damps + scram. 2x TD's will win vs any turreted ceptor though.
