If a vehicle as been locked by radar/IR signature and that signature magicaly changed would the missile lose the lock or reaquire it?

No, older seekers wouldn't be able to tell the difference and modern seekers would identify them by their position and speed. For a modern seeker you need to combine it with some form of jamming and decoys or maneuvering and decoys, for older seekers as long as the change reduces signal strength decoys would likely be enough. By older I mean like 70s and before.

Depends on the setting.

I think it is going to depend on the weapon entirely. Doesnt nlaw go off of an existing vehicle library? Like if it tracks a bmp on the move, the bmp goes behind a hill and a honda CRV comes out the other side idk if it would track it. I believe some ASMs work in a similar way.

Too implementation specifics.
>Jamming, spoofers, decoys (including flares, chaff) and any kind of signature suppressor (like smoke)

Object tracking is likely to still track the boresighted object even as it changes. Especially if the profile gradually changes.

I don't think the NLAW is that smart. From what I understand, it just uses its INS gyros + whatever to estimate the correct deflection as the user tracks the target with the tube's ACOG-ish sight before firing. Once it beeps to indicate it has a stable guess and the user fires, the rocket automatically turns into a trajectory that will intercept the target.
When it flies slightly over the target, a simple proximity sensor fires the HEAT warhead straight into the target's roof, which is quite effective against tanks since they don't have anywhere near enough armor there. The projectile itself is quite blind except for the proximity sensor.
It sounds like a bit of a trick shot, but the inertial guidance makes the projectile fly in a perfectly stable, straight line, so the weapon's a lot easier to aim than a LAW or an RPG-7 or something, especially if there's wind.
