Master of Orion 2? (space ships are vehicles, right?)

Mechwarrior I think is similar, but I can't remember for sure.

basically, rather than *just* HP, you actually have critical systems that are being protected by the armor. damage to your armor avoids damage to critical systems, but damage beyond your armor (in MOO2, to your hull) is applied to your systems as well, and when systems are damaged, all kinds of bad things can happen. also in Mechwarrior it's split between your legs, torso, and arms. (MOO2 has shields split into 4 quadrants, but armor and hull are just one part each.)

also similar to this in sim racing games, where some light initial damage to an area is not too bad, due to crumpling, but once a part of your car is already crumpled, further damage starts to damage internal components.
