As far as losing lock, happens to me all the time but I don't think any more so with GWX. I used to lose lock a lot with stock SH3. It always corresponded with a wave submerging the scope and making you actually lose visual contact. I guess its more realistic that way?

One question. Is this realistic? Now I'm not worried about hardcore realism like some folks
Mines only at around 45-50% (still need targetting help), but would it actually be possible for the crew to see a ship 9000 meters away with binoculars? I'm really just asking as I have no idea and am curious.
Oh, also, I agree with registering to search. Hate when boards make you do that. But I think some of the more highly trafficked boards do it because searching uses up more bandwidth than other actions. It puts a heavier load on the server and such, hence it costs them more money. So in order to keep costs down they limit searching. Pretty sure thats often the reason anyway. Inconvenient sure, but I guess its valid.
