Not really. The nose attitude in an S76 remains mostly level throughout flight with changes in airspeed. It's not until you really slow it down (to a speed well below minimum IFR speed) that the nose starts to pitch up. If you are in cloud you don't want to slow it down to a point where the nose starts to pitch up.
