For one, the guy even S rank the boss node; he cleared it with an A rank. What most people do is hope for an A or B rank at the boss node. Piercing the armor of the flagship Ru (which is the flagship of 2-4 for all possible encounters) is for the purpose of at least getting a B rank.

For another, he didn't use 2 CVs, he used 1 CV and 1 CVL, the CVL being Ryuujou which isn't the best of choices when Hiyou or Jun'you would have been better here. I presume you could use Hiyou and Jun'you as the CV(L)s, and they're quite easy to get in world 2.

Not sure what he meant by having to pierce the armor here, I just thought he was trying to stack as much firepower on a single BB as he could. Maybe it's for 3-shotting the BB? Once in first shelling phase, once in second shelling phase, once at night, for 3 times total.

But yes, it is risky because the chance of getting to the boss node isn't that high, either. And it is not that easy to get a spare Fusou/Ise class BB at a lower level. Maybe he meant to keep grinding at 2-4-A until you get spares or something.
