But back to the original post, yes GDI has mean infantry, and people seam to forget that tanks without infantry support, are much much much easier to take out, then just infantry. It doesn't matter which side I'm on but if I can't take out the powerplant/refinery early on. I always go for the infantry producers not the tank producers. Infantry is much more important then tanks.

On maps with fixed defences tanks are more important, because penetrating those bases is extremely difficult to organise without vehicles, especially against GDI.

*Reading my post; so it does depend on # of players, map, team ability etc. afterall.*
