I don't agree, you merely need to assume a system of crosses for damage.
When the damage occurs, you make one stroke of the cross (somewhere next
to
the system is good) - at the end of the turn turn all single strokes
into
crosses.  If a system gets repaired, circle the cross.	You can now tell
at
a glance whether the system may be used (it has an uncircled cross next
to
it).

If you don't like that solution, since all fire is simultaneous - you
could
all write down what your firing will be, much like the procedure for
movement orders.

All it takes is a little thought in how you do things.
