(A1 1.08.5163)Has only an temporary effect on the vehicle specified (i.e. vehicle goes back to its previous speed right away). So, in order for this command to have a real, noticeable effect, it would have to be issued continuously (e.g. via a script loop, but in A3 1.24 it is unnecessary).

(A3 1.24)To clarify, limitSpeed only do effect on non-player controlled AI units, it has continuous effect and AI won’t break through the speed limitation until one is contacted, engaged or regrouped.
