Steal It From Battletech!
I took my cues from BattleTech. The reprint of 2300 AD also uses this system for ship combat now.
I divide a piece of paper into 3 columns with 20 lines in each column. The Left Column represents the vehicle's left side. The Center Column represents the front and back arcs. The Right Column represents the vehicle's right side arc. I number the lines from 1 to 20 and I then place components on that table using the V1 hit charts as a guide. When a hit occurs, you simply roll a 1D20 and look on the axis (left, right, front/rear) to see what specific item was hit. I do a sheet for both hull and turret.
As for DAMAGE, I already put up an abbreviated version of my system in CHICO's 25 years later thread. You can find it there. I will post my system in detail when I have more time for those of you who have PM'd me.
