That's because BARCH absolutely gets decimated by mortars. No attack is foolproof.
With BARCH, you're looking for full collectors around the outside of the base, or for more defensive-minded bases where the big guns are centralized and the storages are accessible.
You can 50% most bases by carefully picking off buildings along the outside, but two-stars are almost always out if the question unless you're picking on much weaker bases. Drop 3-4 barbs in front of a building, then drop 3-4 archers behind them. The barbs can usually take a mortar shot, and will protect the archers. Spreading them out like this also keeps the mortar from taking out your whole army at once. It takes some practice.
Lightning is also an option, because you can usually (depending on upgrades) take out a mortar with two lightning spells. The loot has to be worth it, though.
