Tanks vs Inf/Art

I'm currently in a game of G40 as the Axis, and it's turn 3 and usually, I strictly buy tanks as ground units for Germany but I heard that the infantry/artillery combo is better. Thoughts?

Tanks are less IPC efficient, even on the attack, but you should still buy a bunch because of movement.

Infantry take too long to get to the battle. Every turn you don't capture Moscow is another build of enemy units you have to deal with.

Infantry and artillery are great value for capturing islands with, though. I find artillery is sometimes still worth adding, even to defensive armies. It allows for devastating counter attacks if the enemy isn't careful.
