Absolutely. As silly as it sounds, the couple of times I ended up in the middle of a firefight, i was able to function because I had a thousand hours in ARMA, combat LARPs, shit like that - Go for cover, direct civilians away from the fighting, shit like that. Didn't have to think about it, just fell back on what I'd done in sim games thousands of times.
Going for cover is another great one. "Try to hide behind things so you don't get shot" seems painfully obvious but in real life you can see how often civilians just freeze up instead.
Omg, i'm playing lots of helldivers rn and people absolutely will not use the simplest tactics! "The shield backpack is essential and you should kick anyone who doesn't bring it" meanwhile i have used the clausewitz level strategy of lying down to avoid enemy fire
