Sorry Verh for late report hehe....
here how the V2 base works

like you said, the giants get to core after they clean up the outside defense (through the mortar).
then in V3 Base, I follow what you suggested "switch the bk/elixir/mine with the mortars and wizard towers" with some little change in layout (see pic below)

First wave, attacker drop giants and then the second wave drop hogs. Giants going to clockwise path while the hogs go to counterclockwise (1 hog going to the core) path and they eliminated by the traps (success)
and here another defense, now with balloons
