Which tanks will be removed from my garage?

I have played World of Tanks casually since beta, and I like to keep a lot of tanks. In particular, I've collected handful of premium tanks via various promotions, which I rarely use, but which I like to keep nevertheless.

During my play time, a lot of tanks have been removed from the game for various reasons. Some times, these tanks are replaced by others, some times not.

I can see that a few of my (premium) tanks are no longer available in the game, but are still in my garage.

After seeing in-game chats and searching the forum (evidenced by the link in Chantola's answer), players seem to know ahead of time, which tanks will be removed from the game entirelly.

Where is this information available? Can I see it in-game somehow? Or is it simply hearsay and case-by-case?

The best solutions other than third-party news sites are patch notes in the news feed on the game launcher and/or the game website. Test servers give a look at the patches before they hit and their changelogs are useful for getting advance warning as well. I don't believe any premium tank has gotten majorly changed or replaced other than the Super Pershing, which had an armor and mobility change with the opportunity to sell it for its purchase price in gold.

Tanks on the tech tree occasionally get changed, but of late it's just been a matter of getting the top tier tank of the split with a roughly approximate set of modules on it, so it's not really worth knowing about ahead of time unless it will make a grind harder. I can't think of a tank which has been removed from the game entirely, although the Type 59 and of late the Su-76i have been removed from sale.
