When Jugglenaut jumps, impact crater can be seen by enemies through fog of war, regardless of distance or radar.

Can't all large explosions be seen without radar or direct vision?

What exactly do you mean by impact crater? There are three components here:
  • The terrain deformation of the impact.
  • The ground decal of the impact.
  • The transient gfx thrown up by the impact.

I would be surprised if the first two are visible. They are not even visible for nukes. The third could easily be accidentally visible, and I would consider that a bug.

I can confirm - there's something visible on the ground when enemy juggle jumps even if there's no direct vision / radar here...

Even if the enemy can see the explosion they don't always react to it because you can also think it's a roach.

ROrankForever at t=353 you can even see on the minimap PLrankSparkezelPL ping the exact spot the second my juggle touches ground in fog of war. They can see the whole black decal.

Hm, ground decals for explosions are visible. I thought that was not always the case. Oh well.

ROrankForever or in my case... I thought the damaged commander died somehow.

it is also visible when you fire tacnukes on enemy buildings and you can exactly see if you hit BB by explosion and sometimes ground decals. But the explosion itself the "boom" is a feature, right?

Why does Jugglenaut's jump have the decal anyway? Its landing is not explosion (is it?), there should be no charring of the ground.

Removing the decal is fine. It might look weird but it is weirder to see a jump without LOS.
