What is the highest compression level I can use that the look outs are useable?

TC affects aircraft more than lookouts; above 256x you won't get aircraft. So myself that's as high as I go and lookouts work fine at that level for "unexpected" contacts, i.e.
If I'm hunting a convoy but haven't visibly spotted them yet, 8-16x max for me.
Also if you're not, be sure to have a watch qualified officer and petty officer together on the bridge lookout crew. You can get by with just a qualified officer but both is better.
Crew abilities also improve with experience.
I'll add that I'm not using 1.4 but modded NYGM and GWX installs.
