Where does it say that you can't use direct fire weapons in a urban
area.  I
looked in the rules but could not find it.  If it does say that
somewhere,
you could use the "vehicle fire at vehicles in a close assault rule"
where
fire is treated as an IAVR.  Personally I think you can fight in urban
areas, just give everything a secondary die for being in "soft-cover" or
"prepared positions", assume only vehicles within 18" or some other
arbitrary range of each other have LOS.
