In arma 3 this command returns [0,0,0,0,0,0] in SP, [1970,1,1,0,0,0] on dedicated server and [1970,1,1,0,0,0] initially and then server real time on local headless client. On player clients it shows client's local date and time. Since Arma 3 v1.49 the dedicated server also returns correct mission start date.
