I performed over 300 trials with non-flagship 50 luck ships equipped with two torpedoes a rate of 67% (with searchlight active). In theory the cutin rate should be 65% before searchlight, and indeed looking at other data the cutin rate with no specific bonuses besides luck is 65.8% over 614 trials. Thus, I wasn't able to demonstrate a significant difference in cut-in rate if you're near the cut-in cap, which you should be unless you're a scrub or something.

Other tests with lower luck have indicated that the skilled lookouts cutin rate bonus is only around 5%.

I haven't seen any data regarding crit rate (and I'm not about to record it myself as I don't use logging tools).
