Asymmetric loadouts are now possible (sort-of)!

The Ka-52 is often seen flying with 6xVikhr on one hardpoint, and 20xS-8 rockets on the opposite hardpoint. This loadout can actually be carried.

However, there is a major limitation - one has to fire off all of the weapons on hardpoint #1 prior to using hardpoint #4.

The trick to doing this is to use up the first hardpoint - then deselect the hardpoint and reselect them (e.g. tap 'U' twice). This will reset the system and allow you to use the other weapons.

I gather that the Ka-50 lacks the same degree of circuit breaker modelling as is seen in the later Mil modules - but for those who are more expert in the switchology: Is there any way to disable hardpoints individually? It would be nice to not have to completely use up one type of weapons before moving to the other.

Of course this solution also works, but it isn't as pretty:

That allows the use of either weapon system at will.

 

P.S. I still think it would be a real benefit to have a 2x9A1472 and 4x9A1472 racks as options like in the Apache module... as that would allow lighter symmetric loadouts, and also carrying 2xVikhr, 4xVikhr, and 8xVikhr (when appropriate or realistic to doctrine)... rather than just 6xVikhr or 12xVikhr... the Americans are not the only ones who avoid overloading their helicopters when they don't need to.
