In my experience, you will maintain lock when switching among weapons that
lock, or groups whose first weapon locks. If you group-fire some LRM's,
for example, then switch to a different group of Streaks, you'll still
have a lock.

But if a group whose first weapon doesn't acquire a lock -- an ER laser,
say -- is in between, and you toggle through it on your way to a missile
group, you will have to re-lock the target.
