Pull up and if you are going to hit the wires then hit them with the belly or bottom of the skids would seem most logical . Push nose down ..?? I dont think so unless you see the line above you and the move doesnt need to be too severe , especially in two blade machine ! Turning would only work if you have the distance and in that case pulling up would easier i would have thought but happy to be proved wrong ! Sadly all the wire strikes i have been involved with have not given the pilot time to do any avoidance and these were all at slow speed ( 50knots or so ).
