Basically I need tips to play SS better and hopefully this thread will help out anyone else who wants to improve as a SS with the information provided. I am fine long, mid range (mostly). CQC is ok (can be better).

Also, does anyone have problem with the accuracy of the slug Sabot sometimes? i.e. I shoot a mech that is standing still with my Slug + Sabot (no it's not a hologram :P) or when they are hovering and shooting at my team mate but there is no damage dealt.

SS is useless with a ping bigger than 100, and i can say it by personal experience.
I can't give you any advice on how to use it better, but I too experienced the apparent invulnerability of some enemies^^ I'm sure it's a ping problem.

Sorry for my english ;P

You, as SS? May god help us all ...

Well, there isn't much to say about SS really ... if you have good aim you'll out-dps almost anything as long as it doesn't stand right in front of you.

If you're in trouble drop a shield, if your enemy jumps in it you just use basic shield tactics and use your hitscan weapons to obliterate your enemy.
Otherwise just go for a lot of peek-a-boo gameplay and use your superior burst to win.
If confronted with something like Grenadiers or anything else with large explosives just keep your distance and shoot them from a range where dodging their explosives is an easy task.
If you keep line of sight to your enemy over mid distance and have a decent aim you simply win.

Slug is perfectly accurate for me, Sabot however isn't. Shoots like 2 meters next to where I zoom in when I shoot or is just a split second too late and misses the hitbox.
Then again, my aim is broken as **** anyways, so who am I to speak ...

Last I heard SS had one of the lowest DPS of the game...  Not sure how he'd out DPS anyone

As for tips, I know there have been threads on tips for the SS before....

If you know people are dodge happy with A classes, always wait to fire your sabot until after a dodge. You'll guarantee more hits. Also play the corner game a lot. You might trade with some splash damage, but direct damage will be more than their splash most of the time.
