I am unsure of what you mean but I will try and give you an answer.

In the game, I don't think it takes into account torpedo blisters. I think what makes the Yamato so hard to sink is the amount of water it can take.

I played the mission "Last Targets" to test this. I put all my forward torpedoes into the ship, creating several holes. Even at that rate, the ship managed to stay afloat for about 45 minutes, continuing to look for me. I raised my periscope again and it still shot at me despite the waterline washing it's decks.

Put a hole in a patrol boat and it'll will go down easy. Yamato can take much more water.
