Maybe as wehr, but urban maps and okw don't mix well.
For such maps i recommend fuerstorm but yes okw do poorly in urban maps

Huh? Out of all maps I find urban ones to be the easiest for OKW by far. Maybe it's because I play Feuersturm a lot.
Stg44s, incendiary grenades to deny garrisons, a forward Opel behind a house paired with flamethrowers and LeIg incendiary barrage if needed... it just works like a charm on these maps.
I find huge open maps to often be a struggle for OKW, especially the rather tight ones, cuz they're heaven for Pathfinder blob, maxim spam and section blobs.

Yeah... don't know how people can't play OKW on urban maps. Leig is great there.
MG34 can cover wide swaths of land. Spios can stay relevant throughout the game with their close range firepower. Kubel at start can easily displace USF and IS from cover by driving over them, allowing spios to charge in and decimate. A well placed Schwerer can lock down easily. KT can be parked and just ground target with Spearhead. Pathfinders are useless there. Sections are extremely weak there (Pretty much every brit ally I've seen just goes for Assault S. on urban maps).
The only weakness are the volks, which are weak close range. Obers with infrared are terminator galore on such maps. Stuka on ettelbruck is a dream come true. Long narrow streets for the long narrow barrage. Vetted kubel is basically a cheat there. LeFH late game against random teams that more often than not, do not have offmaps... OKW is pretty easy on such maps. Just that most OKW players are used to just being able to A-move and fight on longer ranges. On urban maps you really need to pull your weight and be extra spicy concentrated

Not the first time you've patronized people for a faction you don't play. I find a faction that doesn't have nondoc flamers and no mortar to have serious problems on urban maps. And that's what Grim mentioned. Non doc.

Usf isn't great non doctrinally as well imo, falling far behind both Soviet and Wehr. Okw edges out Brits who I would put dead last.
Okw not getting smoke or indirect for at least 3-4 minutes is a bit tough. Even more now so since it takes longer (slightly) to get a battlegroup up and leigs now arrive off map instead of from the structure. Firestorm was patched in because okw was critically lacking in urban environments, and it's still fundamentally the same as it ever was (without firestorm).
I don't do ettelbruck as usf either, admittedly.
