The current guide for 2-4 is unhelpful.

The math of calculating attack power before armor reduction is at odds with this wiki's combat section, which calculates the damage output after armor reduction.

The math also ignores the engagement modifier, making the 130 "bare minimum firepower" pretty much arbitrary.

Cool, it is possible with luck to clear 2-4 using fresh lvl 1 ships. How is this helpful to anyone?

Regardless, even if the guide's math is correct, and this wiki's combat section is wrong, the 99 armor of the flagship Ru is irrelevant for new players looking only to clear, and not S-Rank the map. More relevant is the 85 armor of the elites.

Instead, the guide should offer more general advice stressing the need for remodeling and modernization.

Also, recommending only 2 CV's means that new players without a set of Reppu/Shiden Kai will be hard pressed to meet even the 123 FP for air superiority and still have good aerial phase bombing damage. More practical advice would be to use at least 3 CV's or do away with them entirely.
