I use 500nm as a rule of thumb and place that type of circle over Tokyo, Okinawa and Iwo Jima for starters just to give me a general idea when I am within air patrol range. So far it has worked as a 'start line' for when I should pay more attention to the air threat. Having said that, the large flying boats obviously have much more range and I may get caught out one of these patrols but so far so good with the 500nm circles.
