Kills per Death = TotalKills / ((Discos * 0.5) + Bails + Captures + Deaths + 1)

Note that vehicle kills while in fighter mode, kills in ground or ship guns, kills while in a chute (or as a man) and kills while in a bomber do not count toward rank/score and are not included in K/D.

Sunfan, if you look carefully at Slapshot, BaldEagl & Squire's replies, you'll notice it's a bit more complicated than just that - & hence perhaps not such a stupid question.

My point was ... it's in the HELP section. Everything is explained there.

No it's not a stupid question ... it's a lazy question.

It's not +1 to your K/D.  It's only +1 to your deaths.

You cannot divide by zero, therefore you need the +1.

Where does zero come from you ask?  No deaths.

It's not adding 1 to the result.  It's adding 1 to the denominator in the equation.  And as AWwrgwy pointed out, you cannot divide by zero so adding 1 to the denominator is necessary.
