Also, DCK have slightly less upkeep... for what it's worth.
Actually they have the same upkeep... and DCK cost a bit more to recruit.

DCK stats, while somewhat inferior, do break down differently than DFK stats (in a good way).

DFK armor/skill/shield:
7/8/6
DCK armor/skill/shield:
8/8/3

This gives DFK the following armors:
Front - 21
Side - 18
Rear - 7

and DCK have:
Front - 19
Side - 17/18 (I don't know whether the game rounds 1.5 up or down)
Rear - 8

So they're nearly as good as DFK, just not quite. The only other possible explanation for DCK performing better than DFK would be if they had better (faster) animations which allowed them to attack more often. If they do, I haven't noticed it, and I seem to have DFKs beating DCKs routinely in 1v1 battles, so I'm guessing you have simply had a few weird experiences that have led you to false conclusions.

Or I suppose you could be using a non-1.2 version of the game, or a 1.2 that patched incorrectly. If your game still has the shield bug (pre-1.2), then DCKs would probably be better because they have substantially less shield points, meaning it would drag them down less and they'd probably end up more effective.

In any case, you should probably run DFK (any faction, they're identical) against Hungarian DCK a few times and see what happens for you. As I said the DFKs beat them for me, so if they don't for you then maybe something is up with your game.
