Depends on your strategy. If you are going sea-lion, I would prioritize research. You need naval weapons for your air, amphibious, etc. For Russia after France, you need a boat load of units. Last game I bought air between Poland and France. A fighter to defend after France and a medium bomber to even medium/tactical numbers.
For Russia this has been my plan starting in 1939. Priorities
1. Upgrade and reinforce. Infantry can do with just infantry weapons. Tanks need all upgrades as well as aircraft.
2. New units.
Prior to French invasion
a. Cavalry division- historically present for the NE invasion. The extra unit can free up a para to take the Hague.
b. Air - one defensive fighters. 1 tac to get 3 sets of fighter/med/tac
c. Garrisons- needed to cover capitals capture and defend the German/Dutch/Belgian/French coast. These free up corps for
the east usually buy about 10 of them.
d. Logisitics and Command research.
e. subs
During/after France
f. Tanks/Mech - I generally go for 6 tanks and 2 mech since this the 1941 scenario. However mech packs a similar punch for
less dough. German corps were often a tank and a motorized division or two tanks and a motorized. So 4 tanks and 4 mech
can work. 8 would be the historic 4 German armored corps with each having a tank and a mech.
g. Corps there is a lot of space in Russia and you will need smaller units to cover it. It will harder to do with armies.
h. Fighter and Tac
i. Advanced subs after discovered, advanced aircraft, advanced tanks
j. subs
i. Cav div. Extra partisan control.
During after Barbarossa
j. research
k. tanks/mech
l. armies (corps should be maxed).
Germany does have a couple of historic CAs they could build too but it is costly. So if I am not going after sealion I generally don't build them but they could be used as raiders.
