Man, I've noticed that happening a LOT lately (losing lock) and thought my HOTAS was going wonky or something. When did NPCs learn how to do that?
Depends mostly on rank. And heat sinks and their use isn't all that special.
The gimbal break is a weapon special effect being made available to npc's as well above a certain level. I think Master and up.
Most deadly and elite npc's these days have some specials going for them.

Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
